A quick phone call and we were rapidly collected from the airport and driven to the hotel where check-in was quick and easy. After chat about our plans we were helped to collect the campervan from the local dealer. A comfortable room and clean spacious bathroom. Overall a very successful stay, would recommend.

We had only a one night stay after our flight. The room was very clean and comfortable with plenty of amenities. The manager was kind and went above and beyond to be helpful. The bed was comfortable and there was everything we could have needed included. The outside property was very tidy as well. We will stay there again, and recommend Airport Palms in CHC.
