We had a lovely, exceptionally clean unit on the ground floor. It wasn't air conditioned as advertised on hotels.com but the lovely owner got us an extra fan which helped. Very comfortable bed. Has a little kitchen We were able to cook breakfast each morning and even put together a simple dinner one night. Would highly recommend this motel
