    Great location for the big attractions in the area! Great staff, breakfast and restaurant. Walking distance behind the hotel for the glacier view at both sunrise and sunsets, I recommend! 15min drive to the neighbor glacier and hikes, and 30min...

    Very good location (close to glaciers). The breakfast was also very good. Recommended place to stay if you have an activity near the glaciers.

    Room was adequate with a view of the glacier. The staff were very friendly. Great walk to the glacier from the hotel. Perfect place to stay in the area. Breakfast was again very adequate and coffee good.
