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.

It's located in a quite stretch of hwy. Wifi isn't the best if room is located in the mid section of the long building. Our room wasn't serviced during a 2 days stay. First floor room has really thin ceiling,you can hear a pin drop from people above you.

Very average place to stay. We stayed for 2 nights. The bathroom was clean and the area around the property is nice. But lots of areas for improvement. 1. No door / floor mats. No dustbin in the room. 2. Some towels had holes in them. 3. No cell reception in the area and the Wifi was pathetic! 4. No mirror in the room. 5. The exhaust fan in the bathroom is very loud. 6. Some linens were stained too. 7. Accepted place if you get it below $100 mark.

The price was astronomical. No staff for when I booked in or checked out. The property was poorly lit. No amenities…. And how it it was advertised, there is a lot of room for improvement, including cleanliness, bedding, linen and the list goes on

The room was full of horse flies upon arrival, toilet would not flush, office staff extremely rude and not accommodating at all. Refused to let me speak to a manager… I have emailed the resort with no reply, zero attempt from DTR to address my concerns. Garbage piles everywhere

Better than Expected.

I had read a bunch of negative reviews and almost canceled our booking. I am glad we didnt. The room has been renovated recently and was much nicer than I was expecting. We ate dinner at the restaurant and it was also quite good. We would stay here again.

Family vacation

The TV was not working in our room and internet connection was really bad. However, the staff was kind enough to let us switch to another room. The condition and cleanliness of the rooms were just okay. The resort was the only lodging between Banff and Jasper, hence we stayed there to enable us to hit both national parks.

Room booked for 4 adults. Set up of the room was only for two people - two towels, two cups, two bottles of water etc. Beds uncomfortable and wifi didn't work. Restaurant doesnt allow people after 7.30pm. Went to the "cowboy pub" which was just under a shelter and only minimal choices. Wouldnt be recommending. Not worth the money paid and cant contact anyone after office closed (at 6.30).

The check in staff, one in particular , had an attitude. The cleaning staff were excellent and friendly. The bed was really firm but ok. The owner was Chinese and spent time talking with Chinese guests at breakfast but ignored other guests.

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.
