Great accomodation. Quite remote. Diesel Generator power and satellite internet. Gas station, groceries, restaurant. Fairly well priced considering how remote it is. No cellular coverage, like most of the rockies. I'd stay here again.

Experience spoiled by difficult check-in experience. Total lack of welcome. Question 'where is our room please' Answer - vague point to 'over there'. Good that it had laundry machines, bad that some of them were out of order. Limited dining options at the one restaurant. Luckily we found a better option just up the road. Best part is that the resort is in the middle of beautiful landscape and lake

We stayed here for a half-way break as we worked up the Ice Fields Parkway. Positive elements: off the beaten tourist track in a stunning area of natural beauty. Negative elements: check-in staff were less than helpful, limited dining options with the onsite restaurant.

Just ok. Go in with low expectations and you will

The resort itself is mediocre at best. The washrooms in the public area were disgusting. The womens bathroom was worse than any roadside gas station bathroom I have ever been in. The restaurant was ok nothing special but ok. The Cowboy Pub in the campground was cool. Great staff, good food, fun atmosphere, that was a highlight. Stayed in the motel. It was clean but the bed was uncomfortable. It was adequate and it was better than camping in the rain but not worth 300.00 in my opinion. There are no other hotel accommodations in the area and its high season so I'm not shocked or disappointed. Just leaving an honest review.

Clean, comfy beds and convenient. Restaurant had tasty food, wasn’t open until 8 am, closed at 8:30 so we didn’t get a chance to have the breakfast. Small thing - was travelling light for the trails so a blow dryer in the rooms would be handy ☺️

This was a great place to stay, clean and convenient before starting our back country trip. Sadly for us the breakfast time was 8 am, however the dinner we had when we returned was hearty and tasty. The beds were very comfortable - small suggestion might be a blow dryer in the rooms - I was packing light and would be great for that shower after the trails.

Everything was clean and comfortable, with a peaceful environment and strong hot water for showers. There was a power outage in the morning, and although they tried to fix it, it wasn’t resolved in time — we had to get ready in the dark. One unexpected thing was that a cleaner opened our door before checkout without knocking, but they quickly realized and left.

Hotel is super basic, for the money paid you would expect a lot more. The hike down to Abraham Lake is stunning although a bit of a hike. make sure to wear appropriate footwear and take water with you.
