This place was recommended to us because Karen manages it and she was very helpful. She accommodated our late arrival and recommended great things to do in town and the next day during our drive down the coast.

Location is great. I was a little upset because my description on Expedia said that I would have a microwave, but the room did not. It also said that breakfast was available for purchase. I was told that the descriptions are not necessarily correct in Expedia-they haven't offered breakfast for years, etc. There was a microwave in the laundry room for general use, but it would have been nice to have one in the room, which I specifically look for. The room also had a weird smell (like someone had smoked, but it was not strong) which I didn't notice once I was in the room for awhile. Bathroom was really nice!

This place is perfect for a one night stay in Fox Glacier. The lady at the front desk is helpful and friendly. The room is a bit compact but has everything you need. All clean and comfortable. Good value and great location.
