we stayed two nights in this hotel during our trip to lake louise, the hotel was described to us as a character hotel, from a bygone age, (before tv ect), it has the feel of an old frontier hotel. we enjoyed our stay. but once was enough. more

Well, fantastic location - just grotty decor, dirty feel to the place and good job they have poor lighting in the halls. We had upgraded to a Heritage Room - just make sure its not on one of the upper floors, dirty carpet, bath that had been painted white was peeling to reveal pretty blue colour, walls had been touched... more

Hotel really needs to be renovated. It is dreary and hallways smell musty. I stayed in a lodge room and the bathroom had black mildew/mold. See my photos/videos. The only redeeming quality is that it has a good location. more

When I travel, I look forward to a chance to see no news, to check no e-mail, to read, to eat, to relax. The Deer Lodge was perfect for that. Just a short walk from the lake, the Deer Lodge has perhaps the nicest dining room in town, definitely one of the best I have eaten at in a long... more

Positives - 1) Atmosphere - beautiful old place with great detail... more

We spent our evening sitting in the lounge that was built in 1921. It was so peaceful and relaxing and the staff was very friendly. The beds were very comfortable... more

My husband and I chose Deer Lodge for the location to Lake Louise, the price was in our budget and the outdoor hot tub was a must. The Deer Lodge was what we expected: rustic and charming. We loved the lodge feel - perfect for our Lake Louise Canadian experience. We stayed in the original/older part of the lodge, so,... more
