Convenient But Not Special

Pros: It's location and the young man who checked us in.
Cons: Room size.
Location: Everything in Franz Joseph is within walking distance. The glacier walk is lovely.
The room was very small for the money, but the it was clean and the bed was comfortable. The clerk on duty was outstanding -- helpful and friendly.
