Times here are approximate and assume traffic is flowing freely, outside peak hours. Check a live traffic map before you set off for a flight.

Late arrivals and early departures

Check-in is from 2 pm to 6 pm. Landing later? Let our Duty Manager know in advance and we'll arrange a late check-in at no extra charge. If your booking is fully paid, we can leave your keys and instructions in a secure lockbox, with the Duty Manager's prior approval.

Check-out is by 10 am, or 11 am for Palms Villa. For an early flight you can check yourself out: lock your room, drop the key in the box next to the office entry door and let the Motel Manager know you've left. Luggage storage is free before check-in and after check-out, so you can leave your bags with us.
