★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I enoyed staying here and the place is ok for the area.... however room service wasnt up to scratch as there wasn't any. No toilet paper replacement, we had to ask for towles, no bins taken out and we had to ask for coffee as they gave us enough for 2 people for one morning but we were 4 and staying there for 2 days...we had a young person at the desk who wanted to know why we needed more coffee!. We shouldnt have to justify this nor should we beg for the room service. Laundry was also an issue, it was often full of linen that needed washing and you will need to pay a fee for the washing machine, and another fee for the dryer and detergent- not happy as we ended up going to the co-op in the centre of town and it was much cheaper and cleaner there. However, I must say the old lady at the counter is a real gem there and deserves a star on her own. She was very helpful when she was working and went above and beyond her duties. I would recomend this place if you stay there for 1 night only - due to the absence of room service. I gave this place 3 stars due to cable tv (albeit a small screen) and good wifi service.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Although the motel was a couple of kilometers outside of town, this just ment it was a peaceful location. As for the chalet it was of a high standard and very clean. The only down side was the kitchenette had no sink and you had to use the s.all bathroom hand basin to wash the plates. A shame as with a move of the unit across the room and there would be ample space for a sink.
The staff were most helpful and very pleasant. All in all a very nice stop which we would use again and can recommend to other travelers.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A great spot. The room was nice and fresh with a separate bedroom. Everything was clean and tidy and we had a great view out towards the farmland across the road. The room was really well set up apart from not having a sink in the kitchenette. The small bathroom sink was a bit of a challenge for doing the dishes.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very much a last minute booking, and it was a severe toss up between the Franz Josef Oasis, where I had stayed before and it was great, or this place, just down the road. I opted for the Franz Alpine Retreat to give it a try. Both the F.A.R and the Oasis were the same price.
Lady at check in was friendly and pointed out my Chalet. Lights and Heaters already on, the Chalet was well furnished and tastefully set out. Was a pretty large unit, with a full kitchen, and separate bathroom. Bed was super comfortable, although it could have used another duvet as a spare.
No bath, but the shower had decent pressure and everything was spotlessly clean.. Close to the highway, but no excessive road noise.....

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Amazing spacious retreat! It was quiet and very warm. The views arent the best but you can still see some surrounding mountains. Did not request for room service because we are are not spoilt and don't make a big fuss like others, but the staff were very friendly and seemed knowledgeable about the area.
