Our room was outdated, no a/c or ceiling fan and desk fan not working properly. Bathroom in poor condition and not very clean. Railroad tracks ran right behind property several times during the overnight and with no a/c fan, we had a tough night's sleep. Sheets like cardboard. Maintenance did not appear as requested to repair bathroom light--my husband fixed it. OVERPRICED!!!

Beautiful area. Right near the town. We could walk to the grocery or across the street to gas station. Lovely breakfast. I expected continental breakfast but it was full on. The people who checked us in and interacted with us were friendly and helpful! Highly recommend

Dear Traveler689992, Thank you for taking the time to share your review with us. Our location is certainly one of the most centric and accessible, is easy to park your vehicle and walk to the mall, restaurants, shuttles or hiking trails. We appreciate your comments about our complimentary breakfast, it certainly offers our guest a variety of items and much more than what you would expect from a regular continental option. A Great added value with no extra cost to our guest. Thank you for your business and we hope we can host you again on your next Mountaineer Getaway. Sincerely, Mario Martinez

Had a room in the main building (the older part). In total the pricing was much to high concerning the poor room conditions (clean but old, holes in bathroom floor etc). Had similar accommodations also in Canadian hotspots for max. half of the price.

Dear ManuK72FFM, Thank you for taking the time to share your review. We are sorry our cost effective rooms in the older side of the hotel did not meet your expectations. Our hotel has 80 rooms, 32 of them are located in the main lodge (the older part) and some of them are scheduled for renovations later this fall. We reflected the outdated look on the price of the rooms. We also have a second building with 48 renovated rooms and they look completely different, their photos are displayed on our website so guests can choose the one that suits their needs best. Thank you for your business and we hope to host you in one of our renovated rooms in the future. Sincerely, Mario Martinez

Well kept hotel, but could be better if there's a pool. Close to resturants and markets, it would be great if they can have their own free shuttle to at least Lake Louise and Moraine Lake. Was so disappointed when we were told that there's a free shuttle to Lake Louise waiting across the street, but we waited for over an hour and no shuttle.

Dear Family_travelers_Dec, Thank you for taking the time to share your review with us. Our team works hard to maintain the property in the best shape possible, though we recognized that some of our rooms are in need of an uplift so we scheduled renovations for the very near future. We are sorry that you didn't find the shuttle service as effective as expected, but we thank you for your suggestion about having our own shuttle, we will pass your comments to the right people for consideration. BLL Tourism put together a plan to mitigate the struggle with parking in Lake Louise and offer a greater chance for visitors to enjoy the sights, during the summer the visitation is really high and some of the shuttles (complimentary or private) are just not enough to satisfy the needs of thousands of people. Thank you for staying with us and we look forward to hosting you again on your next Rocky Mountain Getaway. Sincerely, Mario Martinez

Nothing special, but just right. Friendly staff, hot & cold breakfast buffet, laundry facilities. Laid back, close to shops and restaurants and close to a wonderful waterfront picknick spot. To recommend and return to.

No aircon made the stay uncomfortable in summer. Hotel geared up for winter stays. Lake beautiful and park and ride we’ll managed but very little else in the town behind the lakes. Only a few places to eat and bare minimum shopping.

Dear I3014VZvt, Thank you for taking the time to share your review with us. We are sorry your stay was uncomfortable due to no AC in your room, we currently have only 16 rooms that have AC and our hope is to have more AC room after the renovations. Lake Louise is a very small village/community best suited for all those looking to explore the mountains. Our location certainly offers easy access to the few shops and restaurants, as well as the most popular and scenic hikes and 2 unique Tea Houses by Lake Agnes and Plain of Six Glaciers. You can also go canoeing, biking or sightseeing to take all the views in and get away from the crowds. We thank you for your business and we hope your next getaway is a memorable one. Sincerely, Mario Martinez

Location may be great, but there's no air conditioning. If you keep the windows open to try to let air circulate, then you have to pull back the blinds and can't sleep due to the light coming from the gas station across the way. If you keep the blinds shut, then it's stifling during the summer heat. Might be all right in the shoulder season or in the winter, but I definitely wouldn't come here in summer again (until, as the staff were saying, renovations were done so each room had air conditioning).

Dear Tanako75, Thank you for sharing your review with us. We are disappointed that your stay did not go as planned due to the lack of AC. Our hotel has 16 rooms with AC and they are all available on our website, we are sorry the room you chose did not have that feature. We are certainly looking forward to the renovations and having more room options with AC for our guest. Thank you for your business, we hope your next getaway is a memorable one.

Very clean and breakfast was awesome and the view were just amazing. The hotel is near park n ride which I would highly recommend when you wanna go visit Louise and Morraine Lake, cheap and it will save you the hustle of searching for a parking spot. This should be 4star hotel or even 5.

This hotel would have been a solid 5/5 if they had AC, other than that it was amazing. Hotel location is spot on and rooms and hotel were spotless. Room was spacious with a very comfortable bed and the free breakfast was DELISH!! Hotel staff were so helpful and friendly. Will definitely stay again and recommend to friends. Thanks Mountanieer :)
