Deer Lodge

Easy short walk to Lake Louise and nearby trails. The Lodge was easy to find and is very rustic - we stayed in a Heritage room which was nicely furnished and equipped. We ate at the lodge for breakfast and dinner - food and service were excellent. Lunchtime drinks on the outside patio were great. Do ask about the Lake Moraine shuttle to see if it is available

We loved the breakfast each morning. The food was excellent. We found the lodge in need of a remodel. The stairs to your room were hard to manage. It was not a pleasant experience. This hotel is not for elderly people. It needs an elevator. The tubs and shower had no safety bar to hold on to when getting in and out. one day someone is going to fall with a lawsuit. It is close to Lake Louise, but not for us! Sorry was glad to check out.

It’s old but I sensed that the hotel tries to supplement it. Amenities were okay and clean but considering its price I’m not sure whether it’s enough. I don’t remember any particularly kind or hospitable staff. The place for breakfast was dirty with bread crumbles and the like. Menu was very limited and didn’t filled up fast enough. AND there was no tongs for bread and saucers for tongs and spoons at the buffet table (I absolutely hated using any utencils placed on some cloth or wood things). Lastly I booked for dinner at the restaurant but gave me an uncomfortable table even though the restaurant was mostly empty. I asked another table but still not a good seat.

Everything was easy and the staff handled everything. I would stay here again!

Deer Lodge has a rich history starting in 1930. The restaurant food was very tasty. Whole experience was vey nice.

The room was nice and had a balcony. I ate at the resturaunt and the bison steak was great. The breakfast the next morning was fantastic too. I didn't expect it to be as great as it was. If I go back to Lake Louise I'll be staying there again.

Wow! Really loved this historic hotel! Stayed in a king suite in the tower and had stunning views of the glacier above Lake Louise from every window. The room was clean and cozy. Only negative regarding the room is that the bathroom sink had no counter space (a pedestal sink). Wish they had placed a small table next to the sink. The breakfast buffet was delicious, but was understaffed and we had to wait awhile for refills when food ran out. Also, be sure to make dinner reservations for their restaurant well in advance or you’ll have to eat at the expensive Fairmont next door or drive into the village. All in all we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this charming and reasonably priced hotel. The beautiful lake is literally a 5 minute walk away. Highly recommend and would definitely stay here again!

so close to lake louise walkable

Location is amazing. Staff wss super friendly. Food was terrific. Building has charm and history though rustic. A winner and a fun time.

We enjoyed our stay at the Deer Lodge very much. The room was bigger than expected. And the food at the restaurant was delicious. The service was great.
