Fine stopover on a tour. Not overly impressed with Franz Josef, the food was terrible at a restaurant in town and it was too late for food at the hotel. More options would have been better.

For me, the amenities and cleanliness are about a basic 3-star level. The carpet had damp spots and wasn’t vacuumed thoroughly, and the comforter had some yellow stains. I’d recommend checking your room before settling in. On the positive side, the hotel staff were friendly and helpful.

Property was situated along the highway and main street, and rooms were spacious enough for 3 travellers. There’s parking on the property and street parking is easy as well.
