Depends on what you discover!

We had the motel standard room. Old. Unappealing. Absolutely NO internet. Could not even find the network! I got this as I wanted to be close(ish) to JCU. Never again. I hope the cabins are a lot better. Maybe I should have got that. Then again I was greeted by three crickets when I opened the door the first time.

Very noisy location. Room dark. Was looking for spot in the park to sit outside and read, only place was the smoking area. Shower screens need a good scrub.
