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

Office staff amazing and very helpful. Heater was on and room very inviting.

Only downside was water pressure in shower.
