Excellent accommodation at ground level with short walk to on-site restaurant. This establishment lived up to its promise in all aspects, including the dining experience at Azka Restaurant. Will recommend as good value and great accommodation and hospitality.
Stayed in a superior queen bed room, plenty of room for two people. Bed and pillows comfortable. Shower had the rainfall head and the hand held head, that dosen't mean much to me but my wife is a fan.

Homeward bound.
Motel out of town centre. Need vehicle or transport to get to shopping, night life, eateries and tourist highlights. Room comfortable, spacious with beds for 3. Safe area...
We had a beautiful 2 bedroom apartment with kitchenette which was very handy! Continental breakfast, with the option to upgrade to a hot breakfast for a small cost, each morning was absolutely delicious. Absolutely recommend and will return in the future.
