The hotel is in a general state of disrepair. Exterior is dirty and in need or repairs to walls and flooring. Walls are thin and main door had a gap in the frame which made the room noisy. No Netflix 😥 A lack of a ramp means heavy luggage has to be hauled up the stairs 😱

A Rustic Retreat in the Footsteps of Giants
The Heartland Hotel is a place where time seems to slow down and nature takes center stage. My recent stay there was a delightful mix of charming quirks and unexpected gems. The hotel wears its age with pride, within its weathered walls lies a warmth that seeps into your bones. My room was a bit small but comfortable and you can relax after a day of trekking through glacial valleys. The hotel's location is a short stroll to a hidden glow worm forest. the area has a very Limited dining options unlike franz Josef. the hotel is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts who value rustic charm and nature's raw beauty.

Convenient and welcoming
Convenient location, very clean and a very comfortable bed. A nice touch to provide fresh milk in the fridge for use with the tea and coffee provided. The shower gel, shampoo etc. were also really good quality! I arrived on a rainy, overcast day, after a long motorcycle ride, so it was great to find the room toasty warm!

A clean hotel on main street
Since there are not many hotels in Fox so can't compare much. However Heartland Hotel Glacier Country is a choice for you which won't be disappointed. It's located on the main street which easily find restaurant, groceries store, postbox, tour company nearby. I know Fox is small but location is particularly important in winter or snowy rainy day. Room is a bit small but clean. Reception is professional and friendly.

Staff were great. Very small room spaces. King bed, but little open space in room. Modern bath but very narrow, suitable for one person, barely. OK as a staging are but I wouldn't want to spend much time in the room. We had the misfortune to be there when a large entourage of tourists all but took over the hotel. Very noisy.
