Looking for a motel?

During his stay at the motel while working in the area, our data technician found plenty of positives: easy parking, felt safe and secure, a comfy bed, and the host was super helpful with a late check-out because of his late work hours. He'd definitely choose to stay there again in the future.

Oh my word, what an amazing motel! This place felt like more of a wonderful hotel than just a place to sleep on the road. Staff were incredibly kind and welcoming. The room was spacious and incredibly well equipped. Loads of toiletries and even chocolates on the bed. Microwave, toaster and kettle were absolutely spotless. It was super clean and felt like they took great care to clean the bits that motels normally miss. The bed was super comfortable. They even had a washer and dryer you could use. An absolute must stay place!
