Fun Guest Lounge

The guest lounge was a standout feature during my stay. Equipped with a table tennis setup and useful information about local hikes and activities, I spent several enjoyable hours there. It made for a nice break after long days of exploring the outdoors.

Comfortable King Room

My King Room with the mountain view was spacious and very comfortable. The clean bathroom functioned perfectly, and the large bed was just what I needed after a day of hiking. It provided a cozy environment where I felt at home.

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 The rooms, unfortunately, are quite outdated and could really use some renovations.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.

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 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.
