The blanket on our bed had a blood stain on it. Staff at front desk seemed overwhelmed with checking guests in and running front end and there seemed to be no support from housekeeping. He came to give us new sheets and apologized and tried to do the best he could. Housekeeping never brought a new blanket. We checked in late so it was night shift for them. Room overall was nice and the in room amenities were great otherwise. Lodge was pretty and rustic with beautiful views.

Nice Room, Pebble Filled Carpets
The room was nice looking but I don't think the rooms are ever vacuumed (didn't even see one on the room service couch). As I walked around the room I kept stepping on pebbles which was annoying, and then on my last day I found chips underneath one of the night stands. I was glad that there were stairs because the elevator took forever to arrive. And I think the area is called the "Kicking Horse Resort" because all evening I would hear stopping above. Thankfully they do have a sign that tells visitors to be quiet after a certain time. Because the lodge is probably more used for the winter, there was no AC, rather a ceiling fan and a standing fan. The kitchenette was a nice touch but at least in my room, the eating spot was strange with two chairs facing the bed flanking a small table that you couldn't put your legs under. Lastly there was a cement cube in the parking lot that had no sign coming from it and sat lower than most car windows, so I ended up scraping the door to my car since I couldn't see how far I actually was when I had thought I cleared it. Overall, the shower worked, the bed was clean and the microwaved heated my leftovers are about the only really great things I could say about the room. The thunderous noises from above, the pebbles and debris on the carpet made the room less than ideal.

Our stay at Glacier Mountain Lodge was fantastic. The room was beautiful and clean. Although there was no A/C, it did get a bit warm during the day, but it cooled off nicely at night with the windows open. Note: restaurants close early on Wednesdays so plan ahead for supper. Overall, we had a great experience and would recommend it.

- Screen door to patio was broken - bottle of conditioner had separated and was just a clump in the bottle with water - asked for an iron and ironing board and it took multiple hours for them to be able to provide one - charge for underground parking even though it was pretty much empty - said Expedia misses a charge that we had to pay at arrival

One night stay
Arrived super late to hotel from our drive. The drive up in the middle of the night was abit scary with no lights and lots of curves. Greeted upon arrival. Room not super big but decent. Room was really hot and no AC. It was good for a quick one night stay. Far up the mountain with a beautiful morning view.

Wonderful stay…just too short! Had a great day rafting on the Kicking Horse with Glacier Rafting then came here for the night. It was so relaxing in the outdoor hot tub and the sauna as well. Staff were super accommodating and helpful. Loved the room and our stay. Will be back again!

Unfortunately there was extreme heat in the area and this lodge has no air conditioning. They did provide a fan but it didn’t really help much. I had wanted to use the hot tub but it was too hot and it was apparently broken anyway. The bed was very comfortable but that’s really about all I can say about it. The heat was pretty overwhelming. I did enjoy taking a picture of the bear tho.
