10/10 Excellent
"Room was large and clean, underfloor heating in bathroom, and heated towel rail. Room includes a kitchenette which was well appointed. Restaurant meal was excellent and high quality, saved looking for a place to eat. Free shuttle service to and from the motel to the airport was an excellent service. Would definitely recommend this motel."
