We needed a room on the ground floor at short notice as I am currently on crutches, they were so helpful and nice and we got a lovely disabled friendly studio. Everything was new, very clean, large and cosy. I can't thank everyone enough. There is also a good restaurant in the building, which we really enjoyed.

Looking for a motel?

Both travellers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help to make check-in quick and easy.

    Everything .... our room was no 13. It had a spa pool, kitchenette, lovely and spacious room with a big TV and sky. Very clean, comfortable and slightly away from the other rooms for privacy. The Motel manager went above and beyond for us, he washed and dried our clothes while we were out of the premises and bought them all back to our room clean ... we really appreciated it, and he was so friendly to all the visitors, so we all got great treatment.
