Several reviews note dated areas and limited on-site dining, with the restaurant closed or reserved for groups. A few also mention lean staffing or absent reception at times, warm rooms without AC leading to insects if windows are open, and occasional noise or limited views. Expect a comfortable base, and verify dining availability and staffing hours if those are important.

Staff were welcoming. All carpets and furnishings appeared new. Parking was good, under the hotel which was good in the rain! Easy walk to Minnehaha trail and local restaurants (enjoyed the Betsey Jane eatery). Good location to drive to glacier and Lake Matheson.

Enjoyed the hotel and our stay, but room had unpleasant odor ( may have been from previous guest vaping). It was also loud with motorcycle driving guests parking under the rooms. Location was excellent and very walkable to all activities in town.

This property was well located but I don't think it is worth how much we paid! The rooms are in need of an upgrade and the property is a bit run down. The staff, particularly Ella, was friendly and accommodating. It would be fine if we were paying $100-150 a night but this place was definitely not worth $250!!

This feels more like a motel than a hotel. Breakfast and staff there were ok. Did not see the reception staff on arrival nor at checkout. Key was taped to the reception door in an envelope when we arrived about 5:30 PM. Room was fine. Left the key in the empty reception about 9am when we left . Our expectations were a bit different based on descriptions and price level.

Great stay. Quiet. Great team. The only negative was no AC and we had to keep the windows open all night subjecting ourselves to the gnats.

On s’est senti en dehors de la saison au niveau du service malgré la serviabilité du préposé à l’accueil et au petit déjeuner. On a eu au mieux de l’eau tiède pour la douche… Trop coûteux pour ce qu’on a reçu comme service.

Very cute hotel, very clean, very large room with a special place for two suitcases, all the necessary facilities, including a washing machine and dryer for a nominal fee in the end of the corridor . The staff was great, very friendly and willing to help with everything. The location is excellent, right in the center of town and close to the grocery store and restaurants. Simply wonderful!

I hadn't realised breakfast was included that was a bonus. It was older building and very quiet - we think no one else stayed the night in the whole place.

This hotel is in a great location, within walking distance to good cafes and bars. The room was lovely, although on level 1 there was no view - in fact we overlooked another building and the car park which was disappointing. If we stayed here again we would definitely request a room on Level 2. The breakfast (included) was excellent and the lady serving it delightful and friendly. Definitely the best place to stay in Fox Glacier.

Nice room but hotel feels like it’s being run on a shoestring. Although advertising a restaurant when we arrived and tried to book we were told it was not available to us as they had a coach party staying who were using the restaurant. Not much left for breakfast after the coach party had been in so if you’re planning on staying here, eat elsewhere!

This hotel is in a great location, within walking distance to good cafes and bars. The room was lovely, although on level 1 there was no view - in fact we overlooked another building and the car park which was disappointing. If we stayed here again we would definitely request a room on Level 2. The breakfast (included) was excellent and the lady serving it delightful and friendly. Definitely the best place to stay in Fox Glacier.
