"Lovely accommodation for a family."
Overall score5.0/ 5
Very nice property, super close to downtown. Breakfast at the restaurant was very good. Too bad the hottub and sauna were out of commission. Will stay there again.

Most impressed with your Desk Manager who last minute assisted us in signing up two psassenger for the shuttle bus to Calgary. Rocky Mountain Rail Tours somehow forgot them. In addition,last minute we realized, we did not have Westjet flight cfmd by Expedia. He got us our cfm in time for us to have them printed five minutes before Brewater departed. Please give him our sincere gratitude for is quick actions Thanks, thanks, Thanks!

"Nice hotel and front desk."
Overall score4.0/ 5
We were graciously moved to a room with a view. It seemed to have been updated perhaps. Great shower. Location is right where you want to be and right next door is a very nice IGA grocery store for food, drinks and snacks.
