Het is alsof je ergens in een privé appartement zit. Het voelt niet als een motel maar is heel gezellig en persoonlijk maar wel met de voordelen van een motel zoals dagelijkse schoonmaak en schone handdoeken. De kamers zijn gezellig ingericht met een kleine kookgelegenheid en een magnetron. De eigenaars zijn heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam.
