The Dear Lodge was a very nice surprise. It has an old elegance with modern updates. Close to Lake Louise but away from the mass of visitors at the lake. Very friendly staff and good food.

I had an amazing experience

Great 2 night stay. Conveniently located by Lake Louise. Able to walk there, and avoid parking and traffic hassles!

Great location Excellent Restaurant

Great location being close to Lake Louise. Staff were really helpful and we really enjoyed our stay.

The staff is super nice.

A really characterful hotel with very helpful staff and a good restaurant. We are new to requiring accessible support and although aware there was not lift, some stairs had no handrail, which was stressful.

This is a mixed review… positives: great location, friendly staff, clean (mostly) —- negatives: lacks amenities you except for what you pay (or take for granted) - thermostat didn’t work so it was wicked hot in the room (we paid for a room with a balcony so kept the door open all night to compensate though the screen door was broken so thank God the bears didn’t climb to the second floor :), no TV in room, restaurant was good at lunch but dinner and breakfast was a mess (buffet cold as heck) and the steaks at dinner were way over cooked as was the breakfast meat and eggs. Overall o wouldn’t stay again and wouldn’t recommend if you have other options.

Everything was perfect. Lunch box available for our adventures fir 20$

Nice staff, good locations, 5mins walk to Lake Louise and hiking trail, an excellent choice if you want to stay away from the busy Fairmont Chateau.

Amazing location and the best hot tub view of my life!

Classic hotel with the great location. A few minutes walk to Lake Louise. Food was good. Staffs were wonderful. Room was clean. Really enjoyed my stay there.

The proximity to Lake Louise by walk for less than Fairmount. Amazing experience !! Marc and Nadine

Charming property in a rustic but upscale environment. Would have appreciated a room fridge but that is a minor quibble.

Close to Lake Louise

The lodge is in a great location, right beside Lake Louise. The breakfast is superb. The front desk staff was very unhelpful. The bathroom is somewhat outdated and the shower temperature was very inconsistent. Unfortunately the hot tub was closed for maintenance during our stay.

Was a great place to stay and with in walking distance to Lake Louise.

Deer Lodge provide a very convenient location to visit Lake Louise. While the carpeting and maintenance is somewhat tired, there are numerous articles about the hotel that provide charm and add historical interest to the facility. The hot breakfast included in the stay rate was excellent. The absence of a television in the room was rather unique!

This place is fantastic. The building is so interesting, the rooms just right, the views incredible, the restaurant delicious, and the rooftop hot tub wonderful beyond description. We absolutely loved it. Very clean, nice bedding and bed, coffee and tea in the room, helpful staff. The only issue was that the hot tub was down for maintenance our second day, but at least we got to use it the first day - it is truly incredible! Also the restaurant is so delicious, especially the breakfast and desserts and the burgers! Also so nice and close to walk to Lake Louise without having to enter the parking mob. Stay here. It's the best.

Classic style, feel like a home

Great classic hotel just a short 5 minute walk to Lake Louise. Nice bar and a great place to eat.

So close to the lake Louise. I was happy to just walk to the lake.

This is an older historical building with loads of character and things to check out. An easy 5 min walk to Lake Louise. Fabulous breakfast in a lovely dining room with a raised bar area and an outdoor patio. Great staff. There is no elevator and it has 3 floors so if this is an issue for you, make sure you ask for a lower-floor room if possible. I highly recommend this property!

A two to three day stay is a must. Easy walking to Lake Louise and Chateau. Good value for this ibeautiful area

The staff helped finding personal item from trash can after 3 house check out.

Broken Hot tub, Ice machine the only one on the first floor.

Hot tub hard to turn on and to keep running

Got bumped out of the new section and lied to as to why. I want a full refund for this room.

It had character. Didn't like that the hot tub not working.

The property was beautiful and the front staff was amazing. We arrived fairly late to find out we did not get the queen bed that we booked but a double and a single. The room was old but quaint. We went for breakfast about 9:00. It was cold and not much for selection. The staff was terrible. We had to get up and get our own cutlery for table. We were not offered coffee, water, juice or menu. They seemed to serve everyone around us but just walked by us. Eventually we just left and got breakfast elsewhere. Terrible service. The cost of hotel was not worth it. Beautiful grounds and for age of hotel they do take care of it. So if it was below 260$ it would be a great place to stay.

We loved many things: front desk reception excellent and friendly, helpful. The proximity to Lake Louise. Housekeeping excellent. Charm of the old building. The dinner of ravioli was inedible. That is my only serious complaint, that and the fact that I got no apology from the chef who stayed in the kitchen.

Great
