No area to sit outside despite the beautiful surroundings. Poor parking room so we couldn’t get out of car easily. Noisey staircase next to room. Noise from others showering in early morning.

Perfect pit stop

Great little pit stop for passing through to see the Glacier. Within walking distance of all the restaurants, and a couple good nature trails. Super friendly front desk. Room is no frills but clean and in decent condition. Parking assigned for each room was a great bonus.

Friendly staff, clean and as expected.

Super friendly greeting from the front desk and staff were very responsive to our needs. They upgraded us as were staying for longer than typical guests. Franz Josef is not a fancy town and the motels are typical for what you would expect in this mountain town. I would recommend.
