Happy to recommend this accommodation to all. Friendly staff. Nicely presented room that was clean and had the all necessities you could want. Air conditioning worked well, shower pressure was great with plenty of hot water. Parking right outside the door. Plenty of tea, coffee and optional extras with nice little welcome chocolates on the bed. Good location. Not too noisy.

Clean, spacious rooms, comfortable beds and couches, convenient parking outside your door and all on ground-level. Staff were very friendly and welcoming- even allowed us an early check-in with our little one. One-bedroom was very comfortable for our family, spa/tub was a nice treat and having TVs in both the bedroom and living area was a bonus. And very reasonable prices. We will definitely be returning!

This is a great Motel. This place was so clean! You can tell they take a lot of pride in the place. The room was great with a full kitchen. This would be an excellent place to stay for a few days. Really friendly staff. Would highly recommend it to anyone. Wish more of the places we have stayed at were like this one.

Crystal was very friendly and welcoming. I can’t emphasize more how clean and tidy the room is— better than a lot of expensive hotel rooms I stayed in. Lovely bathroom amenities too. Nice toilet paper and face tissue — which a lot of other places tend to go cheap on. The bus stop is right outside and walkable distance to the plaza and supermarket. Already booked it again for my next trip to Palmy.
