Reviews

Great Central location

Great Central location to explore this region of Banff National Park. A short walk into the village shops and stores in a lovely location with mountain views. In the busy summer season there is public transportation up to Lake Louise and Moraine Lake. The restaurant on site was quite good and had a good variety of food options and was reasonably priced for the National Park location. The rooms were well maintained and spacious. We will definitely look at staying here again when we visit the park.

10/10 Excellent

10/10 Excellent and professional staff, and clean rooms. Supper was great in the Explorers Lounge.

Solid choice

Lake Louise Inn is a solid choice, with a good on-site restaurant if you want a convenient meal. The rooms are comfortable and well-kept, and the front desk staff are friendly and helpful. The amenities are solid, and it’s really close to the lake. A reliable and pleasant option for anyone visiting Lake Louise.

Fantastic hotel with easy access to lake Louise ski mountain

Fantastic hotel with easy access to lake Louise ski mountain. Regular shuttle bus. Hotel has 3 restaurants and a pool with hot tubs. Staff are friendly and super helpful especially June!! We upgraded to a king size bed in main block and it was lovely and cozy. Food prices are reasonable and the selection across all 3 restaurants is brilliant.

A perfect anniversary stay!

A perfect anniversary stay! Our one-bedroom apartment was spacious, cozy, and fully equipped. We were pleasantly surprised by the thoughtful card and chocolates from the hotel. Great quiet location within walking distance to the visitor center, shops, and dining. Highly recommended!
