Like others, we had been here before -- about 12 years ago and it was fabulous! But now, oh my. Outside, the lawn needed mowing although it was mostly weeds anyway, and all the lovely landscaping and flowers of bygone days were gone. Opening the front door (which should provide a nice entrance) we almost stumbled over a dirty mop... more

What a disappointment! We paid nearly $300 for a "lakeview" room (which overlooked the parking lot and a slough of some sort), the windows were dirty in the room as well as in the hall overlooking the main lake, the frig was broken and the wine/beer were served warm (bordering on hot!), bathrooms in the room were outdated (which we... more

I would gladly recommend 2 things..#1 go spend 1 or 2 nights here - it is worth a detour, but #2 - The Canadian government should be ashamed to let this gem continue to fall into disrepair. The 5 star view and historic atmosphere complemented by friendly, interesting workers, and a nice little town, and a pretty super boat ride... more

We had read all the reviews of the Prince of Wales hotel and were a little skeptical about staying there, but when you see a picture of it and the surrounding area, it seemed too good to pass up. We traveled on a motorcycle, so the view of the hotel as we came into town was fantastic. The outside grounds... more

This historic property is poorly managed. Desperately needs to be refurbished; evidence of bed bug infestation. During our travels, out of 12 different motels/hotels we used, this is the only one that over charged our credit card; our bill is very confusing and at this writing, has still not be rectified. I can't believe we paid to stay there. The... more

My wife and I stayed at the Prince of Wales Hotel in August for three nights. Upon entry of the hotel, we were immediately amazed by the stunning view from the lobby, overlooking the lake. We ate in the dining room for our first night and fell in love with the presentation and taste of both our dinners. We were... more

I'm a sucker for historic hotels...I wish the walls could talk sometimes because oh the stories they would tell. The Prince of Wales is one of those hotels that, when staying there, you almost feel like you are in some Masterpiece Theatre production and there are illicit love affairs going on behind closed doors! The overstuffed couches and chairs in... more

Stayed for one night in mid-August. There was nothing else available in the town of Waterton. Although the views are fantastic, the hotel is dirty and not worth the nightly rate. When you walk into the lobby, you immediately notice great big beautfiul windows with views of the Lake. Then as you get closer, you see how dirty the windows... more

My daughter and I stayed at the Prince of Wales Hotel during a holiday in July. I had stayed there 20 years before and had great memories of it. However, this stay was even more memorable. We were in a 5th floor room looking straight south over Waterton Lake towards the U.S. There was a small balcony so you could... more
