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.
