Central place to stay
Check in was very easy. Rooms had allocated parking. Room was spacious and clean with all the amenities required. We decided to go to Tartare tunnels and the motel provided us with torches.

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.

Ideal for glacier trips
Ideally situated, restaurants close by and so were the many scenic helicopter trips. Nice and quiet too.
Carol, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Fantastic views of the alps. Beautiful walking trails nearby. Manager was super helpful and friendly.
Joanne, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
