Blake and Mia were especially great Bell Hops. Very service oriented and a lovely old historic hotel. Great views from the Lobby and dining room. Interesting historical 7pm talks by Bell Hops. We had a very relaxing time. Fun scenic boat ride and some nice short hikes and beautiful drives. Also enjoyed the Buffalo Paddock. Waterton is not near as crowded as GNP in Montana!

One night stay

Stayed here traveling back from Jasper to Kalispell. The lodge was in a beautiful location. Phenomenal views and we actually walked to the Bears Hump trailhead. Service was average. We waited 45 for our breakfast in the restaurant. One small slow elevator - we took the stairs.

The thing that stands out about this property is that it is a unique legacy hotel with a one of a kind character. It was constructed by the Great Northern Railroad in conjunction with neighboring Glacier National Park. One must remember when staying at such a property that it is old and because of it's historical significance it is not modern so there are "inconveniences" that are a part of that special legacy. The staff is young and eager to please and proud of the property and the legacy that it represents and this is reflected in the service that they provide. If you are going to stay at Waterton Lakes National Park (Glacier/Waterton International Peace Park) you absolutely should consider staying here.

Beautiful location and lovely property. Smaller rooms but quite adequate. The hotel was built in 1928 and reflect the time period with upgrades. The view from the lobby is wonderful and give the Canadian welcome anyone would want to have. Nice restaurant at hotel and some nearby. Small town flavor. well worth the visit

Nostalgic hotel w/ great views

The hotel is an old hotel but if you want to enjoy the nostalgia of it for a night I’d say do it! Great view of Upper Waterton lake. Food & drinks a bit spendy. Many stairs to climb if you stay on upper floors or get a Bell boy to take you on the old elevator. Staff were amazing and so kind and helpful. No air conditioning, just fan & windows open. Our room was quite small with a great view of lake.

Beutiful. Historic. Scenic. Food was ok, pricey, but that was expected, not too sure if the high tea was worth the price, but unique and fun to do just once. I did not have huge expectations regarding the room due to the history, but still nice, small and took a little to get use to the plumbing haha. Still a beautiful hotel and a fun little adventure.

Overpriced and overrated - avoid

Hotel put us in a room beside the ladies bathroom first night, it was also an adjoining room which was loud and the neighbours complained about our daughter crying at 8pm and got moved. The second night, they moved us to a room beside the elevator basically in the attic, after we asked right in the morning to move, the front desk said that's all they had to offer. It was the loudest most inconvenient stay ever. The front desk staff was young and inexperienced, they put people with a baby in the loudest rooms, causing them to have to move 2+ rooms (ours and our neighbours). Not sure if it's because we booked hotels.com - but felt like we were discriminated against because of how we booked - that or the staff are totally incompetent. The hotel is old and rickety. For what you pay, you get a 100 year room with pillows that are from dollarama 5 years ago. The staff seem unprofessional and the whole hotel / restaurant are essentially a cash grab. Definitely recommend staying in town and just going here for the viewpoint. This was one of the worst stays I've ever had.
