Great Value and Warm Hospitality! I had a great stay at this motel! It's an excellent value for the price — clean, comfortable, and everything worked just as expected. What really stood out to me was the receptionist. They were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making check-in a breeze and offering helpful local tips. It’s the kind of personal touch that makes a big difference. I’d definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone looking for affordable, friendly accommodation.

The views from my room were magnificent. You could see the snow tipped mountains but there were also lots of misty fogs moving in and out, which provided a great visual. My room came with all the amenities, but it was not particularly clean. There were things under the bed and the carpet by the sliding glass door in the back was filthy. The water pressure in the shower is very faint. The staff was very nice and helpful, and all in all, it was worth the money.

No flexibility around a small mistake made. Mistake was realised in under 3 minutes and no good will was shown. Money is more important than customer care.

Lovely view however we weren’t warned about the water notice (after researching found out the warning has been active since April 2022). Disappointing as a traveller has a chronic health condition.

Tolle Aussicht auf den Gletscher von der Terrasse. Viel Platz und ganz gute Ausstattung. Leider sind die Räumlichkeiten ziemlich in die Jahre gekommen und muffig. Es riecht sehr unangenehm. Ich persönlich bin da empfindlich und konnte es nicht ertragen. Wen das nicht stört, kann dort gut ein, zwei Nächte bleiben. Allen anderen würde ich davon abraten.

Tired but a beautiful setting

Excellent setting with beautiful views from the road. Check-in was curt. Bed was old and saggy, so poor night’s sleep. Well equipped for a single night.
