"A beautiful area just outside of Franz Josef. It's nearby the road, so you may get some traffic noise. Other than that, it was a quiet and restful night there. We could see the milky way at night!

"The hotel is located a few minutes walk from the bus station. The rooms are well-equipped and clean. Although the hotel is called a motel, it is actually very comfortable and convenient for non-self-driving travelers. The hotel owner is very friendly and sincere, and is a reasonable young man. We had no choice of bus because there was only one bus arriving in the morning, and it was raining. We urgently needed to check in early. The hotel occupancy rate was full, and we understood that it was difficult for the hotel, but the hotel still arranged to clean a room for us in advance. The two waitresses were also very kind, friendly and enthusiastic, and easy to communicate with. In short, choosing this hotel makes you feel at home. I recommend this hotel."
