Stayed overnight on a Monday, we were greeted by very friendly staff who checked us in even before the stated check in hours. We were told about the breakfast delivery hours, asked about dietary restrictions and preferences. Breakfast was dropped off at the exact time we requested with fresh coffee fruits and a fantastic overall meal. Room was clean and had amazing views of the mountains. Hotel is on the less busy side of Canmore but still walking distance to a few shops and a very nice restaurant. The price point was much lower than other hotels in this area and delivered MUCH more overall. Absolutely would recommend anybody to stay here, and probably will myself.

Great spot, second time here and will absolutely be returning for a third. Never a let down, the breakfast in bed is incredible, strongly recommend if you are on the fence. Close to the town too, but spaced enough for quiet and privacy. Mountain views in the morning make for a truly romantic experience.

Very cozy and inviting
The stay was lovely. Breakfast in the room each morning was a delight! Only complaint really was the bed was very very firm and that led to not the best nights sleep. For a cozy bed and breakfast it was a wonderful stay.

Amazing Breakfast
Breakfast was amazing. Probably the best breakfast ever. Enjoyed outdoor areas to sit down and relax. Great view from the room. Room was dated. Thin walls, I could hear people in the room next to me talking/watching TV until 4am which was very unpleasant. It’s a nice inn but won’t be back again.

Very nice grounds to explore, comfy bed. Bathroom was a bit dated, but sufficed. A smart TV in the room would’ve made the experience feel a bit more at home.

We had a small problem with the Hot tub and with the bathtub in our room,but the staff went above and beyond to rectify the situation.definitly A five star situation. The lodge is quaint and and breakfast is satisfying for the day. Would definitely stay again.

Amazing couple's getaway
We had a great experience here and will be returning in the future. The staff are amazing and you can't beat the breakfast service. We stayed for 3 nights and spent our days exploring and hiking. We felt very at-home and enjoyed relaxing in the room and on the private patio after a tiring day. I was happy to be able to use the hot tub and have it to ourselves. I usually don't use the hot tubs or pools because they are crowded and noisy, but not here. It was very relaxing! I should also add the bed was comfortable and the towels were plush. And they even provided bath robes. Our room had a big soaker tub, which we didn't use because the hot tub was available but I'm sure it would have been great. We highly recommend staying here!

Amazing place, the people that work here are the warmest and kindest!! I think the room we were in could use an update for the bathroom/tub in room situation, it didn’t drain properly and smelled a little funny but other than that it was incredible and I’d highly recommend!

Nice quiet location with a rustic vibe. Staff were extremely friendly and the three course breakfast each morning was great. While the jetted soaker tub in the room was nice, showering in the middle of the bedroom felt a little strange
