Laundry service extremely well organised. Although there was not a supermarket close at hand (for foot traffic), there was a wonderful restaurant nearby. On the whole t motel is centrally located. E Hayes about 1.5 km away, and Bill Richardson Museum 3 km from town. The hostess and family were so helpful. Kitchen and facilities well appointed
