We found that the motel was conveniently placed on the main road into town from the airport making it very easy for us to find our way to our conference venue. The unit was very tidy, comfortable and clean. Checking in was a breeze and we were in our room in no time at all. No problem with car parking as there was plenty of space. Attentive staff even noticed that we had a anniversary card on display and the small gift was appreciated.
