We loved staying at the Deer Lodge. There are no TV's so everyone sits in the lounge near the fireplace, reads books, plays cards and drinks wine. So fun!!! The hotel has a real old world lodge in the woods feel and the restaurant was AMAZING. Best food we had in Lake Louise. Skip having dinner at the Fairmont and... More

Stayed three days. And enjoyed it all. It really is five minute walk from the lake. Attractive setting. It is an older place with the charm of an earlier day. They use real keys on the doors, heat from a central boiler, and no elevators. Walls are not as sound proof as new hotels but things settle down by nine... More

The hotel has an old quaint aspect - lots of wood, nice lounge etc. however, the whole place looks and feels like it needs some major TLC. Our room was a reasonable size and very clean, but it had no TV, no kettle and one plug socket in the bedroom which wasn't strong enough to hold in a plug. The... More

If you don't want to (or can't) afford the Fairmont, then the Deer Lodge is the next logical choice as it is literally around the corner.. Good points go to proximity to Lake Louise, large parking space, free wifi, friendly staff .. both at the reception and the restaurant, good food... (although limited choice) Now the bad parts: While the... More

We stayed here for just one night as we were travelling to Jasper. There aren't many choices in Lake Louise unless you have endless pots of cash and stay at a particular Hotel directly on Lake Louise. So, we stayed here and it took approx 3 minutes to walk to the Lake. Hotel was very 'hunting lodge' type. There was... More

If your looking for a hotel that resembles a boarding school this is it, it's dark miserable and old fashioned it even smells old! So from outside looks like its about to fall apart get inside its no better. Given a key (not a card) a big hefty brass key for our room! After lugging our heavy cases up flight... More

There are essentially only 2 hotels close to Lake Louise. One is a 5 star £300 a night (min.) luxury resort, and the other is Deer Lodge at about a fifth the price..and well worth it. In 2 minutes you can walk to the lake front and all the Fairmont has to offer also. Rooms are very old fashioned and... More

Fantastic location, so close to the lake. Clean but very old, and quite small rooms. Bed was small too. Gets away with this due to amazing location and great breakfast. I would recommend as its so close to lake Louise and its good value for the area.

Stayed here for 3 nights during August 2011 in a heritage king room. Room was a good size and comfortable. We had a good night's sleep on the king size bed every night of our stay.

Location was incredible. Beautiful mountain views and walking distance to the Fairmont Lake Louise. Staff was wonderful and truly offered hospitality. Hotel is quite old and maybe due a remodel, but on the other side our room while small was well furnished and sheets were top notch. Bed was comfortable and bathroom just fine. Jacuzzi on one of the roofs... More
