A motel that needs investment.

An empty motel in peak season was the first warning. Initial appearance on entering the room was good. A spacious well appointed bedroom kitchenette with en-suite bathroom. Lack of air conditioning. The mattress was so soft it made sleep uncomfortable.A tiny shower cubicle and a bathroom abundant in moths and black fly made me reticent to use it. We ran out of toilet paper which was so thin that we bought our own. A very friendly owner doesn’t compensate for an experience I would not like to replicate.

The last resort

Upon arrive the place looked derelict. The lawns and gardens were overgrown and in need of mowing and weeding. Checkin consisted of a girl running out and telling us there was a key in the door. The rooms were spacious and the bathroom has been renovated. The furniture looked like it was leftover from the second hand shop. The TV remote didn't work and heating is only a small space heater. There is no houskeeping and the office is only open in the afternoon. It is more than 2 minutes to town.

Sadly, communication with the hotel proved impossible. I was “stranded” down in the town area with the hotel a half hour walk up a steep hill with heavy luggage. Numerous phone call ignored. Eventually managed to get a lift to the hotel. When there, staff were kind and attentive. Accommodation better than average.
Next morning I needed a lift into town to catch the bus. No one showed up at Reception at office opening time, not responded to my phone calls. I had to hitch a ride down in to town.
Very, very poor communication skills.

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.

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

So noisy with traffic could barely see the glacier from the lookout view let alone this motel. And the rule about not cooking spicy food or you’d be charged extra was a bit on the nose, wouldn’t stay again. We stayed at alot of places these holidays this one was by far the most expensive for the quality of the room.

Expected a lot more for $266 for one night. Extremely expensive for what it was.

Cool weather

Heavy rain during check in. But the staff is friendly and motel location is good. Only thing is that the room is too cool.

Staff did their best. All only new so feeling their way.
Charged an extra $35 - for an “upgrade”. Still a basic motel room.

Solid, quiet place to stay

No complaints; this place was fine - just not amazing. This is just out of town, so it was a bit quieter than I'd imagine those places on the main strip (which we liked, but realize you cannot walk to food from this hotel). WiFi was TERRIBLE - barely usable (fortunately we saw other reviews that said the same, so we did all trip planning we needed before we arrived). Staff was very friendly and kind. The entire unit was clean.
