4/5 - Good
Great place but remember access is through one road which can fall victim to the elements. They are pretty quick at fixing problems though

The property was large and comfortable. There was plenty of space to put your suitcases. The property was clean and everything worked as expected. The only criticism would be that you had to drive into the town. You could walk but that would mean walking on the highway.

Excellent pace to stay in Frank Joseph. Modern and clean, great amenities. A home away from home. Great long veranda to take in the awesome view of the mountains. Stargazing was spectacular.

Franz is a buzzing friendly town nestled underneath its glacier. Atmosphere is fun and lively as well as peaceful and calm!
