Our room was gorgeous with incredible views, lovely toiletries, a really comfy bed and was cleaned and replenished daily. The fire made it really cosy in the evening and having a laundry was fab. Francesca was a super star. Breakfast was good and plentiful. Would strongly recommend.

Room was clean and nice. The only nit picky things are the toiletries and shower head. The bath gel was foaming bath wash and the shampoo was conditioning shampoo that wasnt very conditioning. A seperate hair conditioner would've been nice. The shower head was an aerating type. There's plenty of water pressure so the water is like being spayed with a hight pressure water hose.

Room is spacious and new. The only problem is that with large windows on two sides, it almost like a fish bowl with no privacy. breakfast is great but only for 1 hour.

Short drive from town. Nice continental breakfast spread. The place is over-priced. It felt like a motel. The ‘luxury’ rooms have no views. The website photos make the place look attractive. But they don’t tell you that only some of the rooms have that view.

Reception is only open part time, WiFi wasn’t good, tv remotes didn’t work and since reception wasn’t open we couldn’t get these issues addressed. Aside from that, really great stay - clean, comfortable, friendly staff. Would recommend!

Lovely peaceful spot just outside Franz Joseph
Lovely stay in room 11, facing out back and the beautiful foothills. Bed was comfortable, bathroom was nice, the small fireplace was a fun surprise. Breakfast was simple but very good. We loved the yogurt and granola! The peaceful location is perfect!

A very quiet and comfortable place to stay. The room was large, with comfortable bed and plenty of sitting options. Nice view from the window and glass patio style doors. The bathroom was clean and properly stocked with toiletries. Breakfast was adequate. Just one request: if they could start the breakfast earlier than 8AM.

It is a relatively new hotel with clean and spacious rooms. Friendly staff and good service. Decent free breakfast is offered at no cost. It is not within walking distance of the town; so you will need a car.
