Very friendly staff - helped me check in seamlessly and arranged for me to get dinner before the on-site restaurant closed. Great spot in Franz Josef. Room was nice. Only stayed 1 night as part of a 2 day tour.

The property was large and comfortable. There was plenty of space to put your suitcases. The property was clean and everything worked as expected. The only criticism would be that you had to drive into the town. You could walk but that would mean walking on the highway.
