We had to check out late, and the staff were very helpful and fast in responding messages! Perfect room with a lot of space and nice view.
Note: We couldn ’t find a hair dryer and the room only had one garbage bin/bag (these are not big problems during our stay, but worth noting).
It was a great location and amazing for the price. Check in was easy. Views are amazing. The Reno’s that were done were really bad. Missing floor pieces. The room was clean but the bathroom around and behind the toilet had dirt/dust that looked like it had been there for months. Just not a deep clean. If they had that cleaned up I would have given it a 5 star

Nice little place to stay for a night, close to many hiking trails.
Overpriced restaurant & room, but expected for the secluded area.
Friendly staff and beautiful veiw.
The DTR is a no frills property that is very clean, updated, and comfortable. It’s a good value and relatively close to the Icefields Parkway. Note that there are few lodging choices in the area that are reasonably priced.
Rooms very old and definitely not worth the price charged. Area around is beautiful but the lodge hotel leaves a lot to be desired. The restaurant on the property was good.
Very basic accommodations in one of the most beautiful part of the Rockies! Would stay again for the proximity to extraordinary hikes. Was pleasantly surprised by the restaurant on site!
