A great place, business or pleasure

The motel has chosen a wood floor type which makes the room much more wellcome (and clean) than the usual tiles you will find in 99% of accomodation in AUS in small towns. In bigger cities carpets seems to dominate. It was indeed clean all over, we will be back.
