Brian and Penny welcomed us at mid-day after a very long 12-hour flight from San Francisco. We were pleasantly surprised upon arrival when we saw how beautiful this lodge was.

Our one-bedroom downstairs unit was at the far end of the motel and looked onto a quiet residential street. Outside the windows, there was grass and trees and you wouldn't know you were staying at a lodge. The living room furniture was a brightly coloured suede and the dining room chairs were leather, as well as a huge leather lazy boy chair, which one wouldn't expect in a motel unit. Everything was spotless and well maintained. Large TV also.

Outside there were hundreds of multicoloured rose bushes lining the driveway all the way from the office throughout the complex, and by the swimming pool.
