“Off-Season Getaway”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 25, 2013

The Waterton Lakes Lodge is in the beautiful town of Waterton which is surrounded by mountains and sits on a lake. We went during the off-season in winter (mid-February), which is very different from the summer. During the winter, the town is completely shut down so don't expect to do a lot of shopping or that sort of thing. However, the hotel has a nice restaurant on site (I recommend the nachos), and a pool with a sauna, a steam-room and a hot-tub so we had no trouble keeping our kids entertained.
The front desk was friendly and helpful and the room was clean.
We stayed over on a weeknight, so they served a complimentary continental breakfast rather than opening their restaurant for breakfast as i'm told they do on weekends and presumably during the busy-season. However, the breakfast was very good, offering not just cereal, yogurt and baking, but fresh waffles and hot breakfast sandwiches as well. Definitely more than I was expecting!
If you can get a good deal and just want to get away, relax, see the beautiful mountains and perhaps spend a little time trekking around outside than this is a great place.

“Great service makes for a great stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 10, 2013

We went to Waterton Lakes Lodge during its slow season, in fact the restaurant was just about to close for a month and the town was all but shut down; however, the staff made it a great stay! The room was clean and tidy and had most of the provisions we needed. Staff were service-oriented and helpful with good suggestions for activities. The event that stands out for our stay was when we got our car stuck in a snow drift and the management team came out (with out us asking them too) in 100km winds to help get us out. They were friendly, helpful and their actions speak volumes about their concern for their guests. We look forward to going back and enjoying the spectacular views and hospitality!

“Very relaxing and romantic weekend”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 7, 2013

We had a great weekend at the Waterton Lakes Resort. The room was great. Huge bathroom with a jacuzzi tub and a huge king size bed with a gas fireplace. These features made our stay very cosey and romantic. We ate both breakfasts and dinners at Vimmy's and the food was great and tasty. On our first night, our server/bartender could have been a bit more joyful and attentive to our needs, but he got better towards the end. The rec centre is also super close if you are interested in going to the gym or using the pool; a bigger hot tub is also available. Anyway, my boyfriend and I had a great weekend away from work and roomates by staying at the Resort. I will definitely recommend it to others, and we will be back too!!!

“Great New Years Eve Meal at Restaurant”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 3, 2013

The New Years Eve Dinner was excellent. We didnt stay at the lodge as we stayed with friends who have a cabin in Waterton. But the meal was excellent. I had Elk, my husband had buffalo. Friends had steak and salmon. It was all first class.

However, New Years day buffet lunch/brunch was not so good...but I guess the staff had put their 'all' into the New Years feast, so can't complain.

Very friendly staff.

“Birthday Visit”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 27, 2012

Went in October of this year (2012). Great because we could bring our two dogs. Decent room. Clean and cozy. Stayed 2 nights. Everything in town but the bar/resto at the lodge was closed so we ate all meals there and had some drinks there as well.

Food was fine - not amazing but not terrible at all. Staff was amazingly happy and helpful. Property seemed to be in great shape, we forgot bathing suits so sadly, we did not use the pool/hot tub.

We would definitely go back in the summer!!
