Alpine Glacier Motel

Alpine Glacier Motel

8/10 Good
"The rooms are tidy and comfortable. Although the walls are quite thin so if you're a light sleeper bring some earplugs. It's really central, easy access to everything. The staff are lovely and very helpful. Overall a great, affordable option in FJ."
