Nice rooms. The hotel stay includes breakfast with lots of variety. The fresh baked bread was delicious. The hotel is conviently located. The gas station/restaurant across the street serves good food, I recommend The vegan burger! The hike to the glacier behind the property was a unexpected surprise.

Room was great! Room was clean, and comfortable. We were in a newly updated room. This place did have the best breakfast compared to the other places we stayed at. It also had a beautiful walking trail.

Small basic rooms which were very comfortable. Ours looked out on the snow capped mountains. Good restaurant for dinner and breakfast. Best part was the trail access from behind the hotel to the glaciers, lakes, waterfalls and wildflowers within walking distance. Loved the location!!!

8/10 Very good

Breafast menu was fine, but would have like to have seen some dried fruit options as well as better toasters for bread. The rooms were nice and spacious, beds comfortable for a great night's rest, and the bathroom was a better size than most we experienced so you didn't feel like you had to turn in place to move around.

It’s a great place to stay if you are looking for a small hike for an up close glacier view in the morning which is right behind the hotel. Breakfast is included which is great. They should definitely improve on the overall hygiene and room space.

The room is small, basic and clean. It had three twin beds that were very comfortable and clean. Staff were very nice. The breakfast was outstanding. The location is remote but suited our trip to the Glacier and allowed us to see the Iceberg lagoon and Diamond beach.
