The owners couldn’t be more friendly and welcoming. We were the last to check in that day (a good sign, at 4pm!) so got an upgraded room/apartment, although we didn’t really need it as we were just staying for 1 night. Excellent suggestions for supper (which we walked to, 20 mins) & breakfast in the room brochure. A really quiet & safe neighborhood. We would stay again as it fitted the bill perfectly after a 30 hour flight.

Great Motel.

The room was clean, very comfortable, well equipped and the grounds are beautifully maintained. Peter was most helpful with every question we asked and it was especially helpful to have a complementary shuttle to the airport. Thank you Peter.
