Enjoyed my stay here very much. The staff was very friendly. The room was exactly what I needed for exploring Yoho and Glacier National Parks. The complimentary oatmeal and tea was perfect before heading out in the mornings. The best part was this area did not have the crowds of the more popular areas, but there was still plenty to do.

Overall pretty good. We did have old leftover pizza from someone else in our fridge. The room was really hot when we walked in and the side of the bed had a bracket sticking out which you could easily hurt your ankle on (multiple times).

Beautiful view of the Kicking Horse River right out front! It’s only a 15-20 minute walk to downtown (or 3-5 minute drive); close enough to make it convenient but not so close that you hear downtown noise. The room itself was so great for our family of 4! Our kids loved the bunk beds, and we really appreciated multiple extra fans in the upstairs loft to keep the kids cool during the end of August heat wave. Highly recommend!

It`s a nice little hotel with super friendly staff. Especially the receptionist was amazing. He gave us pretty helpful tips and informations about what to do in the area and he also took the time to show us everything on different maps. If we will come back at any time in the future we would def. stay here again.
