Deer Lodge

Location is everything! Minutes walk from Lake Louise makes this an awesome location. Especially considering it's next to impossible to park at Lake Louise unless you get there like super early (I saw it look full at 6am!). Staff was super nice and accommodating. Room was very clean, which is really what matters the most. It was quaint and charming. Some complain it's small but you have to set expectations considering location and price. We could sit on the balcony and see the mountain view. My family loved our stay. Breakfast buffet was standard items but seem good quality. Thick bacon slices, actual individual fried eggs, etc. Most importantly breakfast was convenient. Tip for those intending to visit Moraine Lake, absolutely book the Parks Canada ones in advance as soon as you get the room. They sell out fast and it's a sight you don't want to miss. Other private bus options exist but at significantly more so if you are last minute, that may be your only hope. Don't do the public bus Roam option, that absolutely requires you take the first 8x bus from Banff. While I read elsewhere they may let you on if you are staying at Deer Lodge, it's not guaranteed.

I enjoyed the convenience. It is close to the mountain.

Room and ammenities were very well done and the proximity to the Lake was amazing!

Comfortable stay

Wonderful lodge and location, and stafff!

close to Lake Louise

Nice hotel near lake Louise. Workable distance. Very good breakfast. I will recommend to stay here if visit Lake Louise.

Perfect for location but thats all I would stay here for. Very dissappointed, no AC, no tv, small ugly rooms tiny bathrooms, loads of flyng insects, hot tub not working, breakfast dissappointing.

Bedrooms were less than basic, and really not clean. Daughter dropped something that rolled under the only cupboard in the room and I really wish I hadn’t looked for it under there. Dinner in the restaurant was good and bar staff lovely. We took a takeaway breakfast but all the fruit was either mouldy or squished so threw it away. Cannot believe they charge $19 for it. Beautiful building that deserves some TLC inside, shame really. I wouldn’t stay again.

Delightful old-world style hotel reminiscent of European hotels.
