Alpine Glacier Motel

8/10 Good
"The property was great and very well located. We only had one problem and that was that the shower hose disconnected and made it difficult to use. I have tried reporting it but they haven’t responded to my email, message left on the phone or answered any of the calls I’ve made to 3 different numbers."
