Lovely Glacier View

I recently stayed in a Queen/Queen glacier view room, and it was just amazing! The room was exceptionally clean, very well-appointed, and offered an amazing view of the glaciers right from my bed. The large shower and the luxurious soap selection made my stay even more enjoyable. I would definitely recommend it for anyone looking for comfort and luxury together with stunning scenery.

Delicious Dining Experience

The dining experience at Altitude Restaurant was a highlight of my stay. The food was well-prepared and served in a nice atmosphere. I particularly enjoyed the breakfast buffet, which had a great variety that catered to everyone’s tastes. Although I felt some dishes were a tad salty, the overall quality of the meals was excellent, making it a nice dining experience.

Luxurious Bathroom Experience

One of my favorite aspects of the room was the bathroom. It was spacious and very modern, complete with plenty of hot water and an very nice selection of soaps that I wish I could buy! It really felt like a spa experience and added a touch of luxury to my stay. The large shower was perfect after a day of exploring the glaciers.

I had an unforgettable stay in this charming lodge nestled between Lake Louise and Jasper. The spacious room was beautifully decorated, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. The only downside was the limited parking and some basic amenities, making the overall experience feel less upscale than expected.

We had an incredible stay at this hotel, marked by beautiful Scandinavian decor, comfortable accommodations, and an amazing staff that truly made our experience memorable.

Our stay at Glacier View Lodge had both memorable and frustrating moments. The location is perfect for exploring the glacier and surrounding trails, and the room was spacious and modern. However, the dining experience left much to be desired, especially with the strict appetizer limits and service issues. I really appreciated the room upgrade and some excellent staff, but the negative dining experience overshadowed the positives a bit.

The hotel is in a fantastic location right by the glacier with breathtaking views and access to hiking trails. It's essential to fuel up before arriving because there are few options for supplies in the area.

Dining

Dining was disappointing due to the high prices and appetizer restrictions that felt petty. While I was excited about the menu, the experience was soured by the treatment we received, which was not reflective of the overall hospitality we experienced during our stay.

Facilities

The facilities were nice with what they had to offer, but it felt lacking in extras like a pool or hot tub that could have enhanced the stay. The restaurant, while stunning, didn't meet my expectations.

We had a pretty good time at Glacier View Lodge with its beautiful glacier views and exceptional tours, but the dining experience was quite underwhelming, especially at breakfast. The rooms were lovely and comfortable, but the isolation made longer stays challenging as dining options are limited. Overall, it's great for a short visit focused on glacier activities, but I wouldn't recommend staying more than one night.
