- sandys1 (6/5): comfortable and suited our needs, but on outskirts of town. pity about the flies and milk - Spacious, comfortable. The flies. The milk supplied was not fresh, we tipped it out. They put milk into one of their own containers, no idea how old the milk was.
- Roland (10/5): Très très bon séjour. - Tout était impeccable, chambre spacieuse, propre, très bon canapé, bonne pression d'eau.
Grande place de parking, très grande cour avec un petit espace vert équipé de tables.
Le motel est a 1 à 2 kms du centre.
Les patrons sont super accueillants et très serviables, ils vous renseignent pour les événements dans la ville pendant le séjour. Nous pouvons laver le linge sur place.
Une chose à dire, n’hésitez pas à séjourner quelques jours si vous passez par là.

- Leo (8/5): Nice roomy units. - My wife and I had a nice, roomy, one bedroom unit. The beds were good and nice dark curtains helped with having a sleep in. Very good shower. My wife didn't like the sheets which were not 100% cotton. The weather was warm, so it gets quite sweaty. There was a fair bit of road noise, since it is located near a roundabout.

- Makereta (8/5): Warm Welcome - Luz the proprietress is awesome - so welcoming and helpful. We ordered a family apartment for the bed configuration as my husband has a back problem and we need to sleep either in a California King (which is what we have at home) - or separately, which is what we did here. He had the double and I had a single and both beds were very comfortable.
Good kitchen space and very quiet. Good shower pressure. N/A. Everything we needed was there. Cosy, functional, and plenty of space.
