Lady at the front desk was kind and helpful. Went out of her way when we had a problem with a tour bus not showing up. Was able to get an Uber to meet the tour bus somewhere else and did not miss our tour we planned many months in advance.

We only needed 1 room with 2 beds, but somehow we paid for 2rooms.1 room was upstairs and 1 downstairs and a distance away Pillows not good, no microwave in room. No glasses for wine or drinks. 1 teaspoon in room which looked like a jam jar spoon. Shower head was broken. Would be ok for overnight stay but not a few nights. We had to go out and get knives, forks and plates. Rooms were not what pictures were lead to belive room would be like. We stayed at other Motels on the way home which was cheaper and more equipped in the kitchen area.

While this motel is convenient for being close to major airports, the room left a lot to be desired. The worst features were a number of electrical outlets that were broken and unsafe in the room, and a complete lack of cutlery and only two mugs for hot beverages. Only recommend a stay here if you need quick access to airports prior to a trip away.
