8/10 Very good

This is a very sweet roadside hotel that is nicely updated and very clean. It isn't fancy, but if your goal is to find a very comfortable, quiet, and nicely apportioned place to stay while doing some of the walks in the Glacier area, this is a solid place to stay.

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.
Alison, 1-night trip

The view from the backyard in clear day sky is why I kept coming back.
Wai Jack, 2-night trip

Had a good time at the Motel. WiFi was shaky and had to ask at the reception to improve the connectivity. Motel was clean and beds were comfortable. Close to dining options and market.

Great

Great location….great room….the weather let us down but we did see the mountains for a little bit, if the weather was good it would provide the best views.
John, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Location is a bit out of town, but walking distance to the best restaurant in town. It was a good location for me to tour the area from. The room was large and had a great view off the patio.
Angus, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great place to stay

We’ve traveled New Zealand for three weeks. This hotel is by far the most realistic from pictures on their site. Staff is SO friendly and helpful, just awesome. Be sure to do the glow worm walk! We’d definitely stay again.
