Reviews and Ratings
Waking up with the forest and mountains at your doorstep was a lovely experience. The rooms were comfy, but the carpets could have been cleaner, and they felt a bit outdated. The service was nice overall, with helpful sightseeing recommendations, but the lack of initial information was a downside. The location was excellent for exploring wilderness with good hiking trails nearby, although it felt a bit unusual in a gas station landscape. The dining experience offered a good variety of choices at a reasonable price. The hotel facilities were sufficient, catering to basic needs.
I found the hotel to be a great choice with clean rooms and friendly staff. The location is ideal for exploring the wilderness, though lack of WIFI or cell service might be an issue. The dining options were surprisingly expensive, but the overall experience was enjoyable.
I found the hotel to be a mixed bag. While the rooms were clean, albeit a bit old and dated, there were some hair strands that could have been missed by housekeeping. On the bright side, the friendly service truly stood out with a warm welcome and great attentiveness. The location was simply breathtaking, nestled in the mountains with easy access to stunning wilderness. However, the dining options were pricey and not the best quality.
The hotel is an older property that fulfilled our needs as an overnight stopover, although it is in need of modernization. The rooms were small, outdated, and lacked proper temperature regulation, reminiscent of the 1980s. The service was average, with some friendly staff members but lacking overall friendliness compared to other locations. The location is convenient for those traveling between Lake Louise and Jasper, providing peaceful surroundings and easy access to nearby attractions. The dining experience was average but at an additional cost, and the facilities could use some improvement.
The hotel offers spacious and comfortable rooms, but falls short with outdated amenities and lack of essential toiletries like a hairdryer. The location is perfect for a stopover during a long drive or a visit to Jasper National Park, yet the overpriced rooms detract from the overall experience.
The hotel seemed overpriced for its age and decor, and the noise from the surroundings was quite bothersome. However, the location was spectacular for sightseeing and exploring the Glacier attractions. The dining options were mediocre and pricey, and some services lacked friendliness compared to other places I've stayed.
I found the hotel to be in a somewhat isolated location, which was both peaceful and inconvenient. The rooms were exceptionally clean but could use some updating. The service was friendly overall, but the thin walls made it difficult to enjoy full privacy. Dining options were limited and expensive. The facilities were adequate, but nothing extraordinary.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms definitely need serious updating as they feel like they're straight out of the 1970s with poor lighting and being on the small side. Unfortunately, my room wasn't ready at check-in time, adding to the initial disappointments. On the bright side, the hotel is located in a convenient spot, being between Banff and Jasper and along the Icefields Parkway. However, the price seemed a bit steep considering the outdated condition of the hotel.
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although very large and comfortable, lacked soundproofing and felt quite basic for the price. The service was a bit of a hit and miss as some staff were extremely helpful and professional, while others were intrusive and loud. The location was convenient for traveling, but the dead zone for mobile devices was a major drawback. The dining options were mediocre and overpriced. Despite these issues, the facilities were satisfactory.
The hotel has some positive aspects like being located between Lake Louise and Jasper, making it convenient for those not wanting to drive the whole way. The rooms, however, seem a bit dated and there is no WiFi available. The dining options are repetitive and overpriced.
The hotel offers modest, comfortable, and clean rooms but is overpriced for the age and decor. The service was friendly and helpful, with limited onsite dining options. The location is excellent for those exploring the Icefield Parkway, Jasper, and Banff, providing amazing views. However, the internet comes at an extra cost. The dining experience was inconsistent, and the hotel lacks facilities.
The hotel is a convenient halfway point on the Icefields Parkway, providing quiet and comfortable rooms with a friendly and international staff. The dining options may be limited and pricey, but the location offers stunning views and a break from technology dead zones.
