“Several Pet friendly rooms near a Vet Surgery which is an appreciation to those who travel with pets. Nice touch of water bowl, grassed area out front for toilet duties and the motel is up the road from the Botanical Gardens. Fresh clean rooms...”

Rooms are clean and the large carport is wonderful for those very hot or, in our case, very very wet day.”
