A good, clean motel with everything we needed and a convenient location close to town.
Comfortable room, good layout with separate sleeping and living areas. Bathroom contained a good, deep spa bath. Staff were friendly and helpful. Complementary use of washing machine was very welcome; and the provided drying facilities were excellent.

Great place to stay for a couple of nights. Easy walk to restaurants & shops. Bathroom seems pretty modern compared to other motels I've stayed at. Easy checkin/checkout outside of office hours.
Awesome cute place, maybe could use a booklet highlighting the best places in palmy to visit, but honestly great experience would recommend to anyone looking for affordable, walking distance accommodation.
