Very friendly family run motel. Absolutely spotless. Well equipped and so quiet. Amazing shower. Lots of small restaurants near by and private parking less. A little gem in the middle of nowhere.

Stay here

It was great- the owners are lovely and incredibly accommodating and helpful. The rooms are well appointed and comfortable. The location was excellent for access to Franz Josef activities and restaurants. It’s a five minute walk to the town center, if that. Highly recommend a stay here.
