Looking for a motel?

Both travellers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving. The relatively smaller size of this accommodation type can also help to make check-in quick and easy.

    I received confirmation text from the motel explaining the process for after the office was closed. I checked in after 10 pm and it was simple with the instructions given in the text. It's a clean comfortable motel in a good location.

    I travel for work. The middle of the beach season Motel rooms are “through the roof” expensive. I tried this instead. There were 2 other very nice girls from Europe in the room with me. Good nights sleep on a comfy bed with an electrical outlet to charge up my stuff. It was all I needed for the night.

    The owner was flexible on my check in time even though I arrived late at night. The parking lot and general motel area felt safe. My room was clean, and my mattress was comfortable. The air conditioning unit on the window was perfect for setting the right temperature in the room. Overall, my experience was great and I would stay here again.
