Have stayed here many times with our 2 dogs .
One review states rooms are dated but that is a bit misleading as the owners have undertaken updating in many of the rooms in late 2011 and 2012 .
During our last stay in October a drunken group had booked several rooms in the motel and were warned by management to be quiet , weren't quiet and after one more warning by a private security company one of the group was taken to jail by local police for disorderly conduct .
We ended up getting one free night's stay on our next visit for the inconvenience of putting up with the yahoos whose names were taken and they are forbidden from renting rooms there from now on .
That's what I call good customer service .
Onsite staff are very friendly and helpful .
That's one of many reasons we've kept coming back to Rocky Mountain over the years .

we stayed at rocky mountain ski lodge in the fall,it was very clean,and quiet.the staff were helpful.
bed was clean and comfy.its next to the mountains,and the air is clean and fresh.
they do not serve breakfast but that's no worry.craigs diner is just west of the motel.great eats.

I have stayed at "the Rocky" many times over many years. Staff are always friendly and rooms are always clean. Most (if not all) rooms are kitchenettes, which can be convenient if you want to cook for yourself. It is a pretty old motel and has not been remodelled much, but the rooms are cosy if not fancy. The Rocky has many different room configurations, from straight up motel style, to big two story loft rooms, which are are quite interesting. The Rocky has good access to the Trans-Canada highway, which is a plus. On the slight minus side, it is about a 15 minute walk (two minute drive) into "downtown" Canmore. A strip mall is just across the street, which has a liquor store, Boston Pizza and some other restaurants, if you don't want to stray into town.

Rocky Mountain Ski Lodge is a great motel for a stay in Canmore, whether overnight or longer, and you certainly can’t beat the price. There are multiple room configurations: from one or two beds with or without a kitchen/kitchenette, all the way up to 1 or 2 bedroom suites with a large living area and full kitchen. The loft suites can be pretty warm in the loft bedroom, but there is an air conditioner to help with the heat, as well as a small window you can open. If you plan on being out for a while, run the air conditioner while you are out to cool off the loft sleeping area.

We have stayed in many of the rooms and have always found the rooms clean, and the beds comfortable. The pillows are sometimes a bit flat, and there are no duvets – only a warm blanket and a quilt that will keep you nice and toasty. There are always plenty of extra towels in the bathrooms, the water pressure is at least average, sometimes even better, and we have never run out of hot water. Toiletries are delivered in dispensers, rather than small bottles, and there is always a small bar of Rocky Mountain Soap Company Lavender soap – heaven!

The hotel has been around for a while, so it is getting a bit tired. However, there is a continuous upgrade occurring, with new TVs, upgraded appliances in the kitchens, new tubs and upgraded shower hardware, and I think there have been new pillows and even new beds in some of the rooms. I’m pretty sure the carpets have been upgraded, too, over the years. It’s a fairly large hotel, so upgrades do take time, but they are certainly occurring.

There is a large Jacuzzi tub and a sauna to warm up after a long day on the slopes, (or a day of scuba diving) or just to relax some tired muscles. There is also a meeting room on site, with its own kitchen for larger groups. There are BBQs outside for guests to use and a playground for the kids.

There are lots of restaurants within walking distance – Boston Pizza is right across the street, and just down the street is Craig’s Way Station, fantastic for breakfast. Downtown Canmore is a 15 minute walk from the hotel. There are train tracks across the street, but I have never had a train wake me at night.

The staff are always friendly and helpful. Whatever you need to find in Canmore, they can point you in the right direction.
