Excellent views and well located for the ice field should you take the trip onto the glacier. Advantage of the hotel is you can take the trip early or late in the day once the crowds had gone. Service was excellent and the breakfast as part of the package was good. Down side for us, we were given a room... More

We expected this to be a motel style, poor quality hotel but wanted to stay to see the glacier last thing at night and on sunrise. it was worth it for the views alone. Seeing the glacier when it's quiet is so pretty. However the hotel shocked us in a good way. Rooms were large, the beds were comfy, the... More

We stayed one night in a glacier view room with loft. We definitely enjoyed the glacier and mountain views from the room both in the morning and evening light. We drove up from Banff, and arrived too early for check in but were able to store our computer/medicines at the hotel check-in desk, then drove back to hike up to... More

This was worth it just for the incredible views from the terrace at sunset. So quiet after all the coach parties had gone. We watched all the surrounding mountains and the glaciers turn pink. There was us and one other couple. Early next morning we again had the terrace more or less to ourselves. We walked down to the small... More

If you want to spend some time at the Columbia Icefields this is the place to stay. The views from the room of the glacier itself were stunning. The room itself was excellent, with a queen on the lower level and two twins in the loft. The food service at the attached restaurant was average at best, and there are... More

We had a room with a mountain view and it was worth it, the rooms didn't have fridges and they had an ice machine that didn't produce much ice, I feel if your not going to have fridges at least have a proper ice machine. Everything is very expensive here from the food at the eating establishments and the vending... More

We managed to get a discount by asking at reception but still this place was pricey. It kinda felt like a shopping mall with reception in the visitors centre and all rooms on the 3rd floor.

The only thing this place has going for it is the view. The room is over-priced, ate at the cafeteria and a hot dog with poutine were over $15, didn't even want to try the restaurant so went to bed early and made an early start in the morning. Expected that they would have beautiful large windows with which to... More
