Large, beautifully appointed room with private patio with view of the mountains and glaciers. Small town, so great location. A little pricey, but it was peak season...

We were friends traveling together that were in the corner apartment. This room had a fabulous view of the mountains. Very clean, excellent Parkin and convenient. We would definitely stay here again and I would recommend it to everyone.

The property was in a good location with regard to walking to town - just a few minutes to all the restaurants and tour organizations. The beds are too soft and not at all supportive - this could be improved. While showering at 7:45am the water temp (on full hot) went for medium warm to tepid - obviously lots of customers using hot water at this time - this could be improved.

Anthony was very friendly and helpful at checking. The motel was clean, very spacious and convenient to Franz Josef shops, restaurants and hikes. We were able to cook our own meals at the property which was convenient. We would recommend this motel to others.
