“Great!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed yesterday 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.

“Don't bother”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 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

“Deceptive Website”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 days ago NEW via mobile

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. The room assigned to us smelt of mould and drains which furthered our upset. My partner complained and we were given another room which was... More

“Lake Louise Mountaineer Lodge”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 week ago NEW

Hotel was outdated, and room and bathroom was not in very good shape for the high price we paid. The breakfast room was outdated, and food was not very good.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.

“Good Clean Rooms”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 week ago

Rooms were clean, service was fine, breakfast was adequate. Met our expectations for a rental in a resort location. Nearby rail road could not be heard due to dense foliage. Conveniently located to Banff and other Lake Louise activities.

From reading reviews, it sounds like we had an updated room. It had AC (didn't need it as it was zero outside!) and modern new furnishings. The bed was too soft for my liking, but the linens were comfy. There was a large sofa, a fridge and microwave which were all nice touches. We enjoyed the use of the hot... More

We stayed in a renovated room which had ac. This hotel is near the railroad tracks and we were concerned trains during the night would keep us awake. It wasn't a problem! The weather was warm when we stayed, and we used the ac so maybe that helped blocked train noise? We really don't know. The room was very clean,... More
