We recently spent six nights here and had to have a 'cot' shifted into the room. That I can accept. What I cant accept is that when we asked if we could have a topper pad because the cot was like lying on the floor - the proprietors acknowledged that they knew they were hard and told us to just...

We stayed at the BellaVista Motel for one night, having already been booked in at another motel further out of town (which was filthy), hence the move to BellaVista.
