Gary, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This motel is located at a very central location in town. Walkable to everywhere also because Franz Josef is also very small. I had the most comfortable stay in this motel as compared to all the other accommodations i had stayed in in NZ. The bedroom was warm with 2 heaters and the bed was so comfortable. They require guests to wash up and return cuterly etc to their place which I find very reasonable.
