Stayed overnight on a Monday, we were greeted by very friendly staff who checked us in even before the stated check in hours. We were told about the breakfast delivery hours, asked about dietary restrictions and preferences. Breakfast was dropped off at the exact time we requested with fresh coffee fruits and a fantastic overall meal. Room was clean and had amazing views of the mountains. Hotel is on the less busy side of Canmore but still walking distance to a few shops and a very nice restaurant. The price point was much lower than other hotels in this area and delivered MUCH more overall. Absolutely would recommend anybody to stay here, and probably will myself.

Great spot, second time here and will absolutely be returning for a third. Never a let down, the breakfast in bed is incredible, strongly recommend if you are on the fence. Close to the town too, but spaced enough for quiet and privacy. Mountain views in the morning make for a truly romantic experience.

Very cozy and inviting

The stay was lovely. Breakfast in the room each morning was a delight! Only complaint really was the bed was very very firm and that led to not the best nights sleep. For a cozy bed and breakfast it was a wonderful stay.

Amazing Breakfast

Breakfast was amazing. Probably the best breakfast ever. Enjoyed outdoor areas to sit down and relax. Great view from the room. Room was dated. Thin walls, I could hear people in the room next to me talking/watching TV until 4am which was very unpleasant. It’s a nice inn but won’t be back again.

We had a small problem with the Hot tub and with the bathtub in our room,but the staff went above and beyond to rectify the situation.definitly A five star situation. The lodge is quaint and and breakfast is satisfying for the day. Would definitely stay again.
