Rocky Mountain Ski Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room and kitchen. Very friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommendable."

Otter Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was comfortable, clean, and well-appointed. While the balcony without a mountain view isn't particularly remarkable since it overlooks the rooms across from it, it was still a pleasant space to sit and relax. The staff were exceptionally friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout my stay. I also appreciated the complimentary welcome selection of teas and coffee. The restaurant located downstairs was excellent—the breakfast was especially delicious. Parking was a breeze. I had no trouble parking my large SUV, and the underground parkade had plenty of space, making it easy to maneuver and park. The hotel's downtown location was fantastic and made it convenient to explore the area on foot. Overall, I had a great experience and would happily stay here again."

Sunshine Mountain Lodge

8/10 Good

"We arrived at the very end of June and there was still plenty of snow to play in! Such a unique experience in the middle of summer. There’s no AC in the rooms, which I didn’t realize and it was pretty warm at night. Just something to note. It’s a beautiful, quiet spot and the staff are all really friendly. If you need a break from the summer heat, for sure check it out!"
