Staff were very friendly & accommodating. The beds were the best we’ve slept in during our two weeks of travelling. Everything is very clean. Although this motel does not offer a free breakfast, they have a very reasonably priced on-site restaurant. The food was excellent (especially the coffee) and the view spectacular.
