I like the suites. They're all different and cater to what you personally like. I didn't especially like mine this time around, it seemed cluttered and small. Also my washer and dryer didn't work! Not pleased about that.

Front desk staff was rude, rooms weren’t ready until 5pm for check in so we had to wait an hour in the lobby, and then rooms were not clean, elevators super slow, impossible to find anything in the hotel - you had to go through the parkade to get to different levels and to the pool and to your car.

Functional suite so it does the job but felt ripped off. We drove 8 hours and paid more than 500 a night and for that I expected a top notch suite. No water in the second shower, toilet seat broken, beds and pillows old and not comfortable, bearings gone in fireplace so couldn’t even use super loud, furniture pretty beat up. Staff was not friendly or inviting and pool was very cold. I’m surprised these units aren’t in better shape since they should have the money to pay for the upkeep.

Terribly overpriced, unresponsive staff, multiple appliances not working. Our unit had a big sign on the dishwasher saying 'Out of order - osrry for the inconvienience' which one might expect for a $100/night place but since we were being charged $575 per night I complained and the person at the desk said 'they were not aware' there was a problem with the dishwasher. They then had us move to another unit where it turns out the TV didnt work properly, the washing machine and hair dryer didnt work, the blinds in the master bedroom were dirty and broken and one of the 2 bedside lamps in the master bedroom did not work either. When I called the front desk to tell them the TV was not working I got a recording and after leaving a message got no reponse for the next 2 days. This used to be a very nice place when we stayed 8 years ago but clearly the managers/owners have not been using any of the massive profits they have been generating to keep the place up. Would NEVER stay here again.

We had a 2 night stay to get out of the city and relax. We ended up leaving after the first night because the beds were like bags of clay. The pillows were incredibly thin. That was enough to make me leave. For some reason, they thought an old ripped chair in the room would be acceptable. At the rate you charge, i dont expect a crappy sleep or torn furniture. The front house staff denied me a refund for the one night even though it was 11am when i left. Do not go here. The expexctation of the spa is blown out of proportion too. Very disappointed.

The location of this resort being in Canmore, surrounded by breathtaking mountains, is truly a highlight. Unfortunately, the resort itself leaves much to be desired. It is not a resort by any means. The amenities were lacking, and the pool area was a disappointment—dingy and clearly in need of maintenance. The showers/ changing rooms in the pool area were poorly kept and had an unpleasant odor, opted out after a day of skiing. The rooms were essentially outdated apartments with old furniture, including chairs with peeling pleather. The overall vibe was more “worn down” than cozy. No restaurant or lounge on the site. Just plain apartment buildings. If you’re coming purely for the scenery and don’t mind compromising on comfort, this might work. However, I wouldn’t recommend it for anyone looking for a resort experience. I was disappointed.

Internet shuts down on people in the evening because they don't have proper internet for streaming. Once everyone is back in their room and on their devices, the internet either bogs down or stops working altogether. The televisions don't work either due to the connectivity so if you plans on staying, make sure you download a bunch of things beforehand. The rooms are dark (poor lighting) and the mattresses are not very comfortable. The walls seem to be thin and you are able to hear neighbors. Particularly if they are above you.
