Reviewed Jul 2, 2026the room was clean and easy to find on the premises
google maps took us to the wrong address labeled “heartland hotel glacier country” but it was just someone’s personal address down the road, the staff was friendly enough but the fact that everything was closed at 7:20pm was very disappointing, we had been driving for 5 hours that day and were looking forward to dinner but we didn’t get to eat because there was nothing available anywhere and the staff at the local pubs were very rude to us when we politely asked if the kitchen was still open. overall the hotel itself was comfortable but we were disappointed that on the booking we paid for a king bed and found that we had been given two singles pushed together.

Reviewed Mar 9, 2026The operations manager was very helpful and did her best to assist us and we feel has a thankless task providing a good customer experience. This included organising a dinner for us despite being told by the catering manager to go elsewhere to eat even though no where else was availabe.
The room was very small and had nowhere to store things. We were there for two nights, and apart from making our beds, the rubbish bins remained unemptied and the bathrooms uncleaned. Our stay included breakfast, but the cooked food, including scrambled eggs , was cold to lukewarm.

Reviewed Mar 9, 2026In a great location close to the iconic Fox Glacier. Very friendly and helpful staff who went out of their way to help guests, especially Evie. The rooms have recently been refurbished to a high standard and are very clean. Thank you for a great stay.
The shower kept suddenly and randomly going hot and cold, so it was difficult to use.

Service
8.4/10Staff were repeatedly described as very helpful, friendly and accommodating (including an operations manager who went above and beyond), justifying a strong service score.
Location
8.7/10Location was praised as perfect for hikes and sightseeing and described as great by many guests; only minor issues like limited parking affected this rating.
Room Quality
7.4/10Beds were frequently described as comfy and rooms cozy, but several reports of cramped space, small rooms and one uncomfortable mattress reduce the overall room-quality score.
Amenities
7.2/10Basic amenities (heater, warm rooms, parking adjacent) were appreciated, but missing items (microwave), limited parking and early local dining closures tempered the rating.
Value for Money
8.7/10Many reviewers called the hotel great value, 'worth every penny' or 'very cheap for such a good place,' supporting a high value score.
Food and Beverage
7/10Breakfast was praised by several guests, but there were also complaints about cold cooked items and one reviewer who did not enjoy the breakfast, resulting in a mixed score.
Overall Experience
8.3/10Overall stays were positive due to helpful staff, good location and comfortable beds, though issues like occasional poor housekeeping, small rooms and food temperature problems prevented a higher overall rating.
