Parking outside is an extra charge, the room was small and no equipment that we expected. No view of the lake, but a good look at the car park outside, or through trees to a big carpark. Noisy in the evening, and an inadequate fan.

The lady who checked us in was helpful and welcoming. The room was very small. Visually it appeared clean but there was a strong urinal-like smell throughout that made our stay very uncomfortable. We had to leave all windows open and the fan working but still couldn't sleep with the strong smell.

Fox glacier is a sleepy town. If you want to stay more than 1 night, I would recommend Franz Joseph instead. The property is convenient and the woman who checked us in extremely nice and helpful. The bed was decent, but had a lump in the middle. Bathroom was large and very clean.

Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Despite booking months ago we were "double booked?" We were not contacted about this until we went to check in? We were sent to another facility which was a tiny gloomy room under a stairwell. After querying why we were not given the option of finding something else earlier we were treated to a lovely cooked breakfast the next morning which we appreciated. But we were utterly dissappoined with th situation.

The reception staff was excellent. She offered lots of dining, trail and travel suggestions. The room was extremely spacious. The kitchenette was well supplied. The bed was very comfortable. The room was surprisingly quiet. I would recommend this motel to anyone staying in Fox Glacier.
