Spacious and comfortable

7.0

The 3 bedroom apartment was a separate house behind the motel. It was very spacious and had kitchen facilities and two bathrooms...... perfect for our group. It was very clean and had everything we needed.The beds were super comfy.

There was only one air conditioning unit in the lounge area. The night we stayed was very cold and it didn't really heat the bedrooms that well. There were additional electric heaters in the wardrobes though.
