The joy of this place is that it is off the beaten path. It is like an oasis. As a result, most people try to do things that are close to the hotel. But some, like us, used it as an anchor to go to Banff National Park. It's a bit of a drive, but not really out of the way. All in all, it was a lovely stay.
Staff was wonderful! Wished there were more options for eating (and the market place stayed open later), since you are quite secluded. Lots of onsite recreational opportunities and amenties (besides restaurants). They are under construction, so it was a bit noisy. Hope to be able to visit and see the completed renovations...sure they will be great!
We went to this hotel for my wife's birthday. It was being renovated and we were not told that in advance. No air conditioning (yes, it does get quite warm in Canada), no ice maker, no laundry facilities, all of which had been advertised as amenities. Plus we were awakened almost every day during our stay by heavy equipment being operated right outside our window - this at 7 am, and we were on vacation. The hotel's response to our complaints was to give us a bottle of wine (we don't drink) and earplugs. EARPLUGS! We were also told to leave our window open at night to compensate for the lack of air conditioning.
Pleasant stay. Large hotel complex which is not really my style of accommodation. They do a good job for the experience they are delivering .
A great place for a weekend get away. Eric Wilmoth at the concierge went above and beyond to make for a great weekend for my girlfriends birthday. Highly recommended!

Thank you for your comments. I am sorry that you found the cafe to be closed too early. We have extended hours until 8 pm on weekends if that helps for next time ! The renovations are nearing the end !

Wally, thank you for your review, not that great to read and I apologize for quite obviously letting you down! AC is on its way for the first time since we opened in 1988, so on your next visit you will be able to chill ! The renovations are all but done, so I am sorry that the wine didn't do the trick, but the silence of the mountains will be resumed very soon. Thnak you for you kind comments about our people, that is great to read ! I hope that you will return and see the new and improved lodge after the summer is gone. Stephen

Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. Although we're about 60 km from the National Parks, we are situated in Kananaskis Country - a provincial park that spans over 4000 square kilometers. We hope you'll come back to visit us soon and explore our backyard of adventure as well! Kind Regards, Joanna Gregson
