9.6/10
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel with pristine cleanliness and friendly staff, which made me feel right at home. The kitchen was well-equipped, allowing me to cook my meals easily, and the lounge area was spacious, featuring a cozy couch and table with chairs. Being slightly out of town offered perfect views and peaceful stargazing on the deck, all at a great price during the off-season.

The staff was incredibly helpful, providing us with valuable information about the local attractions. Located just outside the city, it was a quick five-minute drive to the glacier center and had breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains.
