World class hotel facilities in a beautiful, remote location. I definitely feel I got my money’s worth for the comfort and services offered at this spotless, spacious hotel in the middle of a National Park.

We were unaware that ALL dining options in the entire village were closed other than the buffet which cost $83 per person - how convenient! We had to cop it on the first night and get cold food from the cafe and store it in the mini fridge for the second night. They know how to make their money.

We stayed for 2 nights. Very clean and modern room. Great shower and comfortable room. Loved being in the park for convenience to hiking. We weren’t thrilled with the pub or buffet though and there are very limited dining options in the park. We knew that going in, but probably wouldn’t stay here again for only that reason.

Conditions and location are excellent. Hotel has its own restaurant Price is reasonable and food amounts is very enough. However, it doesn't have lunch and dinner end at 9:00pm. If you come late, you can eat snack only.

Great position and stunning views
Beautiful view of the mountains from the balcony. Motel style with bar and restaurant. Room was nice, reception area had an awful smell, not sure what is was, possibly the carpet. However, we were not staying in reception! So overall a nice property.

Loved it
We really enjoyed our stay here. Rooms seem updated and clean, and had great views (the front rooms have a better view of the mountains of course). Also the on site restaurant was perfect for dinner.
