The hotel is situated in an excellent location with stunning mountain views, making it perfect for nature lovers. The rooms, unfortunately, are quite outdated and could really use some renovations. Dining options are available and above average, but they come at a high price compared to what you get. Overall, it offers a nice escape from city life, but be prepared for limited amenities and high costs.

The hotel boasts a great location with stunning views, which significantly enhances the overall experience. While the rooms are average and clean, they do have a musty smell and could use some modernization. The dining options are decent but slightly overpriced, and there are some concerns regarding service quality, particularly in the restaurant. Overall, it's a good place to stay between Banff and Jasper for those looking to enjoy the scenery while being mindful of budget.

The Crossing Resort offers a mixed experience with beautiful mountain surroundings that make for a lovely getaway. The friendly staff are accommodating, but the rooms are dated and the dining options are hit or miss. While I enjoyed a great steak sandwich, other dining experiences were overpriced and lacking in quality. Overall, it's a decent value if you're looking for a connection with nature, but there are certainly some downsides.
