A motel that needs investment.
An empty motel in peak season was the first warning. Initial appearance on entering the room was good. A spacious well appointed bedroom kitchenette with en-suite bathroom. Lack of air conditioning. The mattress was so soft it made sleep uncomfortable.A tiny shower cubicle and a bathroom abundant in moths and black fly made me reticent to use it. We ran out of toilet paper which was so thin that we bought our own. A very friendly owner doesn’t compensate for an experience I would not like to replicate.

The last resort
Upon arrive the place looked derelict. The lawns and gardens were overgrown and in need of mowing and weeding. Checkin consisted of a girl running out and telling us there was a key in the door. The rooms were spacious and the bathroom has been renovated. The furniture looked like it was leftover from the second hand shop. The TV remote didn't work and heating is only a small space heater. There is no houskeeping and the office is only open in the afternoon. It is more than 2 minutes to town.

Tidy unit, well equiped kitchen and great shower pressure. The most affordable stay I could find in Franz. Wifi was very weak at number 9 (too far from the modem is my guess) - needs a booster. Bed is super soft, so more suitable for tiny humans.

Clean property, good facilities although the TV remote didn’t work. Improved exterior since last visit would suggest wooden trellis divides for more privacy between units.

No glacier view but nice big room.
Huge room with kitchen and large bathroom. Very quite and peaceful. Comfy bed and fully equipped kitchen. The only downside is the wifi was very slow.

The property was a convenient location with great views. The parking was right outside the room. The Wifi was not good.

Sadly, communication with the hotel proved impossible. I was “stranded” down in the town area with the hotel a half hour walk up a steep hill with heavy luggage. Numerous phone call ignored. Eventually managed to get a lift to the hotel. When there, staff were kind and attentive. Accommodation better than average. Next morning I needed a lift into town to catch the bus. No one showed up at Reception at office opening time, not responded to my phone calls. I had to hitch a ride down in to town. Very, very poor communication skills.

The managers are friendly. It’s a no frills accommodation and has everything you need. Bathroom has been refurbished and everything was clean. Kitchenette had everything you needed to cook simple meals. Had a small heater which did the job. Thank you

Glacier Cold
Bit disappointed - only heating was in bathroom and no electric blanket , so bit chilly at night TV reception was so poor couldn't watch anything for longer than five minutes before it snowed out. Internet very intermittent - and as i had to work some of the time , made things very difficult. All furnishings pretty tired.

Nothing Special.
This motel is on the run-down side. The wifi was not secure but that didn't matter because it didn't work. It was fine for one night but that's about it.

The tv had unusable coverage. Wi fi worked occasionally. Was not a 3 minute walk or 2 minute drive into town. Was not a 3 star and definitely not good value for money

Far too expensive for facilities provided. Half the lights didn’t work. Advertised as luxurious but just a very “ordinary” motel - not even slightly luxurious!!!!!!
