Wonderful

The room was simple and clean with everything we needed. The towels are small but absorbent and the water pressure was great. Parking was a plentiful and mostly affected by the rain/mud. The room was very warm with no thermostat, we could have opened the room but didn’t want to deal with the rain. We paid extra for the breakfast which was tasty. Easy check-in and check-out process! It looked a little ominous at night with the rain but felt safe just the same.
This property is gorgeous, the location is breathtaking. My room was clean, quiet, and well-appointed. The beds were excellent. The on-site limited-seating dinner was a really personal touch. I will absolutely stay here again.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Comfortable and clean - basic but we got a good nights sleep. Had everything you need and breakfast was good too. The newer building would have been better, but the older one was all that was available. Not bad though, just average.
Water pressure and shower was excellent. Humidity in room was horrible. Door handle was broken. Breakfast was great. Staff tried calling internationally.
Loved the quaintness of this property: quiet, lovely cafe for dinner, and the views!!
The lounge area was where we spent most of our time reading and looking out the window. The views are absolutely beautiful, you can see the glacier and the cutest family of sheep were just chilling on the front lawn of the property and behind the cafe. It was such a relaxing stay.
Be careful when booking this. They have 2 buildings but show images of both properties when booking, so you think you are booking in the newer building. One building is extremely poor quality and old. Room smell was incredibly bad. Staff is unprofessional. I would recommend you stay away from this property. I would compare to a $30 motel.
We had a wonderful stay! Room was spacious, clean, and updated. Breakfast was included and served in a separate building. It was delicious. We were so impressed !
