Great place and great price. James at the front desk was very friendly and helpful even when we arrived for check in at 1 o’clock in the morning! He drew us a little map so we could find our room with ease. We would definitely stay again. Highly recommend checking out the tikki bar.

Pleasantly surprising. We would stay here again! This motel had the best shower pressure of any hotel, motel, B&B, expensive hotel we have ever stayed at! It was spotless, modernized, and surprisingly quiet considering it’s an a main highway and on the flight path of an airport. Centrally located to restaurants and shopping. Great value for the money.
