Deer Lodge was a great find in Banff National Park.
Peaceful and comfortable accommodation close to but away from the crowds of people at the Fairmont and Lake Louise. Great restaurant and staff. Would definitely stay again.

Wonderful place
The Dear Lodge was a very nice surprise. It has an old elegance with modern updates. Close to Lake Louise but away from the mass of visitors at the lake. Very friendly staff and good food.

Great Hotel near Lake Louise
The location is great! We are just walk away from Lake Louise. This is one thing that is very nice booking on nearby hotel so you can go to the lake when the crowd is not yet there. The hotel is rustic and clean. The breakfast is okay, it is the same everyday.

Underrated
The room was nice and had a balcony. I ate at the resturaunt and the bison steak was great. The breakfast the next morning was fantastic too. I didn't expect it to be as great as it was. If I go back to Lake Louise I'll be staying there again.
