This was a great location as far as trying to find somewhere between Jasper and Banff. The mountains were beautiful right next to the lodge. The Wi-Fi was not good. The restaurant was OK. The location was a little off the beaten track, but the drive was nice.

Beautiful location, I found it interesting that the front desk closed down early and that our keys to the room were left in a mailbox on the wall next to the lobby door, another quest that happened to be walking by told me where to find my room key.

We stayed at David Thompson Resort during our Rocky Mountain tour and it was truly a highlight of the trip. The location is stunning, right in the heart of the Rockies, away from the crowds. The room was comfortable and clean, and waking up to that mountain view in the morning made everything feel special. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Overall it was a peaceful and memorable experience and we would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for something a little different on their Rocky Mountain adventure.

The staff was extremely helpful when we first arrived. They went above and beyond to help get us settled in quickly even though we arrived early. The further away from the office the less reliable the wifi was but you are literally in the middle of nowhere there. All in all it was a good stay

We had to check out late, and the staff were very helpful and fast in responding messages! Perfect room with a lot of space and nice view. Note: We couldn’t find a hair dryer and the room only had one garbage bin/bag (these are not big problems during our stay, but worth noting).

Beautiful site with mountains and wildlife all around. Very helpful staff and quiet rooms. Room was modernized but needs a few touch ups. Only complaint is power kept going out and wifi was very spotty. But to be honest it’s a great trade off to being in the mountains! The restaurant on site had the most amazing smoked meat. Not a lot of variety, but what we ordered was very tasty.

Beautiful setting, but very basic rooms. Could definitely use a refresh. Could also use attention to detail in cleaning, especially bathrooms. Wifi was erratic depending on proximity to office which was frustrating for such a simple fix. All in all, for the price I expected much more. Shout out to the restaurant. The breakfast was excellent, as was the coffee in the store. Staff were amazing.

The staff were terrific. The room was very good. The restaurant was delicious. The store was missing many things that campers and other visitors might need, especially diet sodas. The store had almost nothing with the name of the resort on as advertising and keepsakes. The WiFi internet was glitchy. It would cut out often.

Location is amazing, nestled walking distance down to abraham lake, mountains in view all around. Simple, rustic vibes in the hotel but clean and friendly staff. Parks and mini golf are dated but the kiddos didn't complain at all about it and enjoyed them regardless. They have improved the amenities since we last visited a couple years ago with the addition of their arcade game room! They gave us some tokens for the kiddos to play while we waited for our dinner which was a nice touch. We like to stay here annually for a family trip! We will come again
