Fantastic motel but not so much for 3 people
We have stayed here in the past and would absolutely stay again as a couple or 2 pax, but the sofa bed for the 3rd person was not comfortable and did not have a good night sleep. The room in general in absolutely clean and almost new condition and all good quality elements including the main bed, bathroom etc.
