    Was in an accident just after a glacier hike and needed a place to stay. Nice room with a nice view and a gas station and restaurant just across the road while we waited for our replacement rental.

    Wonderful place! The restaurant, while a bit expensive, served us wonderful food, perfect after a day of exploring. On top of that, 15 min walk behind the hotel allows you to see two glaciers and wonderful views. The best part was definitely...
