When we returned to the room after our glacier adventure, we encountered some unexpected room changes. Despite the initial confusion, the rooms were spacious and comfortable with a nice view. The service was friendly but seemed a bit inexperienced. The location above the visitor center was convenient for exploring the ice fields, though limited dining options could be a drawback. The dining experience was satisfactory, and the facilities were decent.

The hotel is a gem nestled right by the Athabasca Glacier, offering beautiful views of the icefield. The rooms are spacious and pristine, equipped with yoga mats for a zen touch. The service is top-notch, with staff going above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Dining was a culinary delight, especially the evening fare, though breakfast could use a bit more variety. The location is perfect for glacier explorations, but limited dining options around. Overall, a fantastic stay for nature lovers and hikers.

The hotel offers large, cozy, and clean rooms with a queen-sized bed and a loft, along with a small office desk in the middle of the spacious room. The service, although initially hesitant with washroom supplies, turned out incredibly accommodating in resolving various issues during our stay. Located on the top floor of the Glacier Tour Centre, the view of the Athabasca Glacier is breathtaking, especially from the lounge. The dining options were satisfying, although a bit on the expensive side, but the fresh selection made up for it. The facilities were well-equipped and maintained, contributing to a pleasant experience overall.

My stay at the hotel was truly amazing. The room had great views, was clean, and modern. It looked exactly like the photos - big, beautiful, clean, and extremely comfortable. The beds were great, and the shower was excellent. The small fridge and Nespresso machine were nice additions. However, the view from the room wasn't as expected, as it faced the dumpster and generator in the parking lot at the back of the building.

The hotel offers very clean and well-lit rooms that give off Airbnb vibes. While the rooms are updated and clean, the pricing might feel a bit steep. The service provided is a mix of helpful and polite staff but may lack some experience and motivation, with a fixed service charge in play. The location is a remote area with breathtaking views of the Athabasca Icefield and Glaciers but may require some planning ahead for fuel and food. The dining experience, while served by friendly staff, may not offer many options and could be pricey. There are some excellent facilities available on-site. However, the overall value for money might not match up entirely.

The hotel offers updated loft rooms with a queen-sized bed and a mezzanine for children, boasting beautiful Mountain Views. The rooms even have a delightful diffuser scent. Direct room access is convenient, but service can be lacking at times. The location is peaceful next to Icefields Parkway, but amenities come at a premium.
