6/10 Good

Unfortunately it rained
This was a two night stop for us. Arrived late day one, checked in and shown our room. That’s it. Brand new bathroom which was nice. Kitchen, lounge and bedroom all in one large room which is typical motel set up. Bed was ok. Unfortunately the next day it rained all day and we were essentially stuck in the room. Could sit outside apart from the in area where the cars are parked. The best thing it has going for it was the view and the central location for all the eateries and bars.

The view of the snow capped mountains was stunning. Kitchen in the unit was great. Although the WiFi is free it is only 5GHz. Thus people with the usual 2.4 GHz WiFi were not able to connect. Parking near the unit was disorganised (no marked bays).

Room is spacious and the bathroom is very nice with heated floor and towel rack. However, the timer for the heated floor made very loud clicking sounds throughout the night. Otherwise it is a cozy little spot.

We were unable to stay at the property because the rooms had not been cleaned by housekeeping in readiness for our booked arrival. We had to find accommodation elsewhere.

An overnight stop to visit the Franz Josef Glacier. Motel was comfortable but the room was a bit tight. No dining or breakfast facilities but the town has adequate options.
