We loved our stay at the Lazy Lizard Motor Inn. The room was clean and well-equipped. We appreciated the mini kitchen! We also loved the location. Would definitely return!
The property was amazing, very clean and beautiful plants all around. Aiden was very helpful. He recommended places to eat and arranged transportation for us. Would definitely stay here again. Highly recommend.
Excellent service, older motel property that has been nicely maintained, great staff, very clean rooms, great amenities, a bit of a walk from downtown area - wonderful stay and highly recommend
Was a little gem and a great place to stay. In fact we extended our stay by 4 days as we were so happy there. The location suited us, close to everywhere. The accommodation was clean spacious and had everything we needed. Aidan was helpful, friendly, informed and efficient, made our stay even better.
Thank you
