We stayed at Beckers Chalets for 3 nights. Found the location to be good.Easy to reach Jasper - a 5 minute drive away. Our chalet overlooked the play area which at first we were disappointed with - as we were a couple on our silver wedding holiday. However this was not a problem and the grassed area attracted a family of elk much to our delight. We did not eat in the restaurant - seemed quite pricey. Cooking area adequate which allowed us to cater for ourselves if we wished. The location by the river would have allowed us to spend a pleasant few hours on the seats by the water - but unfortunately we didnt have suitable weather. Our chalet had a gas fire so we didnt need to purchase logs. Would stay here again.

We stayed for three nights in a riverfront single cabin - nice, cozy and rustic interiors, but nothing for those looking for the latest in contemporary design. The restaurant was great and very popular with locals as well. Location on the riverside was marvellous and deer could be seen on all evenings grazing in front of our living room! Probably one of the better choices in Jasper and a very good deal for the price. But you need a car to get into town.

I was disappointed with Beckers. I agree with the traveler from California that the front desk staff was less than warm. The chalets are not cheap, yet they charge $4 for a bag of wood. The beds were hard and uncomfortable. The kitchen accomodations were fine, but I agree that the sign re washing dishes was tacky. We had no real view from our chalet, and chose to spend minimal time there. It was clean and suited our family of four in terms of size, but we will not be returning.

I came up with this title/thought while staying at Beckers. No one at the front desk seemed capable of cracking a smile. And less than helpful would be complimenting their behavior. The vibe was that this person was doing us, their guests/paying customers a favor by just being there to make sure that we really were booked and deserving of a chalet key.
Then, our romantic "deluxe log chalet for two" had a memorable view...of a blindingly bright play set...most likely used by the owner/manager's children. Why would any couple on a romantic Rocky Mountain retreat booked into a "deluxe log chalet for two" want to see a swingset?
The cabins were densely spaced leaving no sense of privacy. Close the curtain and there goes what little lovely view there is. Close the door to your next door neighbor's living sounds and out goes the sound of that raging river...which really does sound nice.
The location along that raging river is beautiful. I'm sure that having a cabin along the river is quite perfect. Having a cabin anywhere else, though, leaves a lot to be desired.
The amenities are nicely presented. The sign above the kitchen sink announcing a 10CND charge for unwashed dishes was an extremely tasteless touch.
I came away feeling like Beckers was in the throes of schizophrenia. On one hand it wants to be all upscale and yuppie. On the other hand it charges for unwashed dishes and gives romantic couples a view of the uber bright swingset. Beckers needs to decide which way it's going and then add more fluff to the towels, remove the swingset and find a more tactful way to advise clients that a sinkfull of dirty dishes is unacceptable.
And, I'd really like to feel like they'd like to have me make a dinner reservation.
