We had a ground floor room and because the building is a log cabin walking in the room above is very noisy. The king bed was very comfortable but housekeeping was not good You are asked to request if you want the room refreshed I asked for the bed to be remade on 2 mornings and it wasn’t Because the resort is remote you basically have to eat dinner at the restaurant and the menu is pretty basic although they understood gluten free perfectly

Bathroom could be cleaner. Coffee maker missing the pot. Despite asking twice it was not replaced. No reading lamps in room. No hairdryer. Very basic older motel priced double what it is worth. Staff seem very disinterested. Restaurant food nothing special. Servers excellent though.

The property itself is good, very clean, but no air conditioning. The area is in the middle of no where. No cell phone signal at all, and wifi is slow. No restaurant or grocery store nearby, except the one in the hotel.

The room was spacious but dirty. There were bugs everywhere and the towels had yellow stains. We only went there for a stopover.

There is a boil water advisory in effect as of August 29th. Had to find out about this after checking in by a poster from Alberta Health Services, the man at the front desk did not mention it and did not provide a means to boil water until I came back and asked. I found lodge staff were generally in a bad mood. The restaurant was popular and the food was good. Wifi is provided but there seems to only be one router located in the front office. If you are not located near the front office you are out of luck.

First we got a room which had infestation of ants all over even on bed. Then we asked for a change and other room was better. If we reached late and no one in office then what we could do. They have to check rooms before giving it to someone.

Good for one or two nights

The hotel is good and a perfect place to stay for maybe one or two nights. There is a restaurant on site but it had closed by the time we got there so it was a few snacks from the small shop next door. The place was very comfortable and clean and completely isolated, a big log cabin in the mountains.

Loved the resort and location. It was great having a restaurant on site and it didn't take advantage of the location by being really expensive. The only downside was not having air conditioning in the room. We had the window open but ended up having to close it due to road noise.

Rooms are newly renovated beds shower ect are all in good shape small fridge freezer was also handy. No AC makes for warm rooms at night with limited air flow. The thin doors between the connecting rooms create for noise to carry through I could see this be an issue for some. The setting in the mountains is pretty special and that alone bumps up its raining. The restaurant and staff were very friendly great service.
