My favorite part about this place was all the beautiful varieties of gorgeous flowers everywhere. The staff was great. The rooms were very clean and the pool was heated. Perfect location, right across the street from the shopping mall with lots of restaurants.

Loved the location and staff - very friendly. I would describe the motel as quaint. We wanted to swim but didn't like that the pool was next to the road and felt too exposed. Lovely landscaping. Would return.

There is a $10 parking fee per day if you don’t book directly through the hotels website. Before I reserved it clearly states free parking.

Pretty OK. Had to pay extra for parking, and parking places are very narrow. I had to park pretty far from my room.

Property charges per vehicle of 10.00 to park on their premises. Very basic room and small. If a good sleep is what your looking for this is not the place to stay at. Mattress is very outdated need an upgrade.

Room was ok but a little small. You can hear through the walls fairly easily so if someone has the tv on at a decent volume, you can hear it.

The rooms are TINY, and the beds are slim. I would not recommend when traveling with kids. There are many hotels with bigger rooms at the same rate. The staff was also not very friendly, very dismissive. I wouldn’t recommend.

The room was very small. They had a full-size bed and not a queen size. The furniture inside the room was very old for the price that I paid for that. It was too much. I stayed in a nicer hotel on my trip and paid far less.
