The room was incredible, there was a shine off every piece in the room, when we got there my loving wife accidentally set fire to the motel room when she was cooking. Instead of getting mad the man and lady at the desk came in and whisked her off her feet and ran her out of the room and then proceeded to clear the fire and give us an entirely new room free of cost. We were also given free massages and chocolates. I would 100% recommend this motel for anyone to stay in the rooms are like luxury mansions. Great place especially to bring kids.
