“Lake Louise Mountaineer Lodge”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed today NEW

We were on our honeymoon. We figured for about $200 a night we would stay at a nice place. The location is fantastic and it's adorable when you drive up. Rooms were average, but the beds were very comfortable. However, if you like soft pillows, bring your own. I was surprised when all of a sudden it sounded like a... More

We stayed in a family room. It is big and comfortable for a family of 6. The sofa bed was made and we just had to pull it out when we are preparing to sleep. Nice cosy place. Opposite a petrol station whereby you can pump your gas on your way either to calgary or jasper. 6 mins drive to... More

“Just ok....”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 days ago NEW via mobile

There are not many places to stay in Lake Louise village. The main reason we chose Mountaineer Lodge was because of the free continental breakfast and the general price of the room (which was good). The breakfast was not good. We ended purchasing breakfast at another Inn every morning. It's all carbs and sugar, no protein. Unless you like hard... More

5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 days ago NEW

Great place to stay. Rooms recently renovated. Very good breakfast included. Only downside for us - lake Louise very small town - not much choice for restaurants to eat. Location was great and lodge easy to find when driving into town.

2 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 days ago NEW via mobile

I'm not even unpacked and I'm already sorely disappointed. We are on the second floor and there are no elevators. The ice machine is not in this building; I need to walk down a very long flight of stairs, across the parking lot to another building to get ice and it's 45° outside. I asked the receptionist where to eat... More

We booked this motel on line. The site uses artist's renderings for some of the rooms so you need to examine the site in detail to understand the nature of the rooms you are getting.

Hotel was outdated, and room and bathroom was not in very good shape for the high price we paid. The breakfast room was outdated, and food was not very good. We expect better conditions when charged this much.
