Right from the shuttle pickup guests took a back seat to staff getting a ride to the hotel. Watch out for all the tourists. Checking in was nice but then the resort itself is run down. The meal at Burgess was excellent but again the staff at the restaurant and lounge seemed as though as a guest we were inconveniencing them. How can I forget the tables that went I cleaned forever. Save your money and go elsewhere. I expected more for the price and was extremely disappointed. CRMR should be ashamed

Wunderbar aber in die Jahre gekommen

Die Lodge ist sensationell. Absolut ruhig und an einem wunderbaren Ort. Die Anlage bzw. das Zimmer ist jedoch in die Jahre gekommen. Aufgrund dessen ist die Lodge den Preis nicht wert. Zudem lässt die Zimmerreinigung zu wünschen übrig; manchmal nicht gesaugt, Handtücher und Duschmittel vergessen bzw. nicht nachgefüllt. Wir waren drei Nächte In der Lodge. Die Küche bzw. das Restaurant ist sehr gut. Trotz allem würden wir es weiterempfehlen.

Poor choice

This hotel is way over-priced for the condition it is in. The staff was excellent. The room is very rustic and is need of a major renovation. The only internet is in the lodge with no internet in the rooms. When they charge $10 for a 1 oz pour of Buffalo Trace there is a total disconnect, the Fairmont charges $12.50 for Markers Mark. The location is what you are paying for. It took over an hour from order to receiving two bison burgers that were so dried out. The quality was so poor for the food and what you pay. Would never stay here again.

Views and location stunning. Service really poor. Dinner in lounge took over an hour to get our food despite about 30% restaurant occupancy. Another couple left because never got served. Cabins cute but absolutely agree with other need an update or at least fresh paint as peeling right when you walk in. Honestly would not recommend. Its a shame because the location is stellar.

Disappointed

I was disappointed with the room , it was outdated, dark and not worth the price I paid. Guest parking was too far from Hotel it should be moved up to the top of the parking lot this would reduce the need for the shuttle and more convenient for guests. The restaurant access was poor with Cilantro restaurant not open during the day and Burgess was extremely expensive. Provincial wines were being sold at 100% overhead. The scenery was magnificent and I was glad we went but not sure I would recommend it at this time.

Paying for the views!

The location is stunning and the restaurant was good, but our room was very dated! No fridge in the room to enjoy a glass of wine on the balcony, no safe to keep passports etc safe, metal keys to the room easy to lose, stained furniture cushions. I believe some rooms have already been renovated, but a few small changes could be made for those rooms awaiting a full renovation.

Exceptional location and amenities in lodging e.g. wood burning fireplace! Friendly, helpful staff. Deep sleep bedding/mattress. Lodge restaurant was good (though some allergy-causing ingredients in some of the food should have been made more clear on the menu/by wait staff).

Whist we arrived on a very , very , very busy time , the crowds lessened at the end of the day . We had a wonderful albeit expensive dinner in the dining room which we loved . Every staff member from the shuttle driver to front desk to servers were very happy and interesting to talk to. They are from all around the world as the tourists ! Our cottage was just perfect . Having wifi in the main lodge only wasn’t a big deal really . We hiked the 3 km trail and enjoyed the fresh morning air but it is 60% roots to navigate so be warned ! Coming off season would be an entirely different holiday … something to consider . Take lots of pics as the scenery is breath taking .
