I’m so sorry I didn’t take his name, but the manager was brilliant, really informative on things to do in the local area. The place is a bit tired, but you know about it from the photos when booking. Great price and location . The spa was an added bonus.

L'emplacement. La cuisine.

La propreté n'est pas parfaite, l'ensemble un peu vieillot...mais suffisant.

A large motel with beautiful rooms. The reception was very friendly and helpful. We received great hiking tips. The location is perfect and quiet. We would love to come back anytime.

The cleanliness of the room could have been better. There were a few cobwebs here and there that shouldn't have been there. But overall, it was acceptable.

Incredible location and a treat seeing the snowy mountains when you left the room in the morning! Complimentary oats, pasta and rice was a lovely touch, as well as home baked treats for the morning and afternoon. The host was so lovely and ridiculously hard working, doing everything himself! Would recommend

A little dated but not a problem!
