Hacienda Motor Lodge

Hacienda Motor Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"This motel was fantastic. The bed was soft, the room was quiet (even though there was a gathering outside), it had a little kitchen, and it was clean. Conveniences like digital channels and a coffee machine meant that it made the stay just that much more comfortable. Super convenient to central Palmy as well with just a short drive to the Plaza. Definitely recommend."
