Huge room with kitchen and large bathroom. Very quite and peaceful. Comfy bed and fully equipped kitchen. The only downside is the wifi was very slow.

Bit disappointed - only heating was in bathroom and no electric blanket , so bit chilly at night TV reception was so poor couldn't watch anything for longer than five minutes before it snowed out. Internet very intermittent - and as i had to work some of the time , made things very difficult. All furnishings pretty tired.

This motel is on the run-down side. The wifi was not secure but that didn't matter because it didn't work. It was fine for one night but that's about it.

It’s not 5 star, but the staff was great. The place quiet and clean. The sleep was comfortable. It’s exactly what a good motel should be.

I'm not fond of being unkind to struggling a business, & this one is struggling, we were 1 of only 2 units occupied that night. Smelled a bit, the blurb in the room claimed it was their brand of sanitizer & suggested keeping windows open to lessen the odour! A bit out of town, kettle didn't work so used the microwave, toaster didn't work either! Chinese lady at reception was pleasant, but spoke no english, so very hard to recommend the welcome albeit cordial. Hard to recommend anything really, sorry.

The room was not very clean. There were stains on bedding and towels. Bedding smelt old/not clean. No heating or cooling. Too far out of town. Did like the view to the glacier at sunset.

The check-in process was hard as there was no english-speaking person at the frontdesk. There was no heat in the room and we were charged for a room heater on top of the room payment. We were not told about this beforehand. The room had lots of bugs.

It was very disappointing. First, the owners/managers did not speak any English and it was impossible to communicate. Next, the room was very dirty even though it said it was disinfected. It could not have been if we had to wipe all the surfaces and the wipes we used collected so much dirt. The hair dryer had about 2mm of dirt all over it. The tea towels stunk so badly we had to hide them in a cupboard. The dishwashing liquid and body wash were so diluted with water that they just did not soap up to wash anything. And the pillows were as hard as a rock. We are not fussy travellers but we will not be staying here again, and I don’t know how on earth it received a 4.3 star rating from guests.

This was the worst experience that I have had with Expedia. I was attracted to the property based on a tariff of $125 per night and thought I was booking on that basis. I didn't check the confirmation that came through at $919.08 then one day before at $722.81. That's my fault but I trusted Expedia. I'll never do that again because I will never book with Expedia again. The place was almost empty and was worth $125 per night. Would have been a good experience at that price
