At Motella, we have been investigating a few ideas that will assist motels boost up flagging demand.
As moteliers, we seem to be a repressed, retentive lot that don't like to stand out too much from the crowd.
We say be bold - go forth into new territory and turn some of your motel units into "theme rooms!"
I must admit that we will not be commencing a theme room project in our own motels just yet, however please feel free to forge on and forward us photos of your completed projects. We promise to critique and publish your masterpieces for all to see!
