We felt the property was over priced for what you get, room was tired and a little grubby and the sofa bed in our one bedroom apartment was simply awful. That being said, the location, minutes from the Lake Louise/Moraine Lake park and ride, is what this hotel is all about... But that should not be an excuse for poor accommodation. We loved the area, but after 2 nights we were grateful to be moving on.

Hotel was nice and clean, albeit small for 3 people when the sofa bed was out. Breakfast was great. Overall very high price for what we got, but that's what you get in peak tourist season I guess.

The hotel was nice and clean. The breakfast was good. The hotel was quite pricey but I guess that’s what you have to pay in Lake Louise.

We stayed in a suite, which was perfect for our small family. The separate living and sleeping areas were great for when the kid went to bed. It was very comfortable and clean. The beds and pillows were perfect. The location was very convenient for our needs, and suited our vacation wonderfully.

We had a lovely stay at this hotel! The room was very comfortable and clean. The hot tub was great with a very convenient location near town and Lake Louise shuttle area. We appreciated the complementary coffee and tea and cookies as well! We would recommend this place!
