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.

Clearly struggling
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.
