The hotel is located just across from the bus station. Although it is a motel, the room facilities fully meet the living purpose of non-self-driving travel. It is clean and comfortable, and the room with floor-to-ceiling glass doors has good light.

The room was quite clean, but it rained the day we went there, and the room smelled a bit musty. I didn't get a good night's rest. It might be because the humidity on the West Coast is too high.

Check in was handing us a key with no tips or advice. There was the odour of someone’s fried food in the room, leftover frozen vegetables in the fridge. The back patio? was a narrow ally with tables. The beds were soft. One pillow case has a hole in it. Overall it just felt unclean. The bathroom had been redone, but the floor tiles didn’t look clean. We stayed at this overpriced motel as there was nothing else available. I would not recommend it.

The motel is located directly on the main street in town. The room is comfortably furnished and when the temperature is high enough it is possible to sit outside in front of the room.

The hotel facilities are average, but they have everything you need. The location is very good, on the main street, very close to the meeting point for glacier hiking, and only 5 minutes walk from the trail where you can see fireflies. The boss is very nice, answering all questions and introducing us to many surrounding attractions. I forgot to mention that the boss is Chinese, and I felt very close to him because he could communicate in Chinese.

The location is excellent, right next to the glacier hiking meeting point. The manager is Chinese, which is convenient
