Only thing l was not happy about. After being evacuated from the building at 1.10 am after being allowed to return we were given no explanation why we were evacuated. Even front desk staff that morning had no idea the event had even occured.

We were surprised to discover this motel, with great location, clean functioning facilities, walking distance to local shops and cameras all around so that we can leave all stuff in the car instead of shifting them to the room. Definitely will be back next time.
