This was a wonderful room, perfect for the stay we had.
It was out of town so we used the car to get food.
Breakfast was included and very nice selection of things to eat.
The outside of the place does not do the inside justice.
Super clean modern looking furniture etc in the room. Really relaxing night
Very disappointed. Room smelled moldy and aggravated my allergies.. but no Kleenex available. Food crumbs on chairs and floor. Counter had food smears and fridge was flooded because it was turned down to lowest setting and had defrosted all over inside..bag of defrosted food in freezer compartment that I had to clean out before using it. Drawer that held coffee and biscuits had flies flying out of it when I opened it, so we didn’t use any of it. Bathtub needed a good scrubbing..but I didn’t get the mold ring off..Even hand soap container had visible dirt on it. All in all, embarrassing terrible.
Nice and comfortable room. Nice scenery.
Place was a little out of town. Make sure you have your own transportation or you might get stuck. Townspeople very nice, friendly and accommodating.

The staff was super nice and the breakfast was good. The room is very basic. We were told that only 4 rooms have AC. Our room did not have AC. It was hot and had mosquitoes bothering us all night. If you opened the window, more mosquitoes would come in since they have no screens. They had a small table fan in the room but we started sneezing after turning it on. We got very little sleep and checked out after one night.
This property is not actually in Franz Joseph but FJ is close by. It's lovely but a little sterile for my taste, very well cared for and nicely furnished. I wish we had had more time to enjoy the outside grounds. There's seating and lawns all around the property.
Our room was gorgeous with incredible views, lovely toiletries, a really comfy bed and was cleaned and replenished daily. The fire made it really cosy in the evening and having a laundry was fab.
Francesca was a super star.
Breakfast was good and plentiful.
Would strongly recommend.
Room was clean and nice. The only nit picky things are the toiletries and shower head. The bath gel was foaming bath wash and the shampoo was conditioning shampoo that wasnt very conditioning. A seperate hair conditioner would've been nice. The shower head was an aerating type. There's plenty of water pressure so the water is like being spayed with a hight pressure water hose.
Room is spacious and new. The only problem is that with large windows on two sides, it almost like a fish bowl with no privacy. breakfast is great but only for 1 hour.

Short drive from town. Nice continental breakfast spread. The place is over-priced. It felt like a motel. The ‘luxury’ rooms have no views.
The website photos make the place look attractive. But they don’t tell you that only some of the rooms have that view.
We were a little disappointed we had to drive back 5 minutes to eat but the place was super nice room huge bed comfy and staff person was amazing would stay here again
Up market hotel on outskirts of town set in its own grounds. Rooms spacious and clean. Limited staff mean that front desk only open for a limited time. Breakfast options ok but not extensive.
