Terrible off season stay

Booked this room because it was listed as a good deal on hotels.com. When we arrived there was no staff at the hotel and we had to go down the road to another property to check in. The staff at the other site said it was not staffed because it cost too much. We were then charged an additional “resort” fee in addition to what we paid on line which was not stated on line. Not sure why considering nothing was working??? The room had no air conditioning and we were told to use a fan. It smelled stale and was dirty. The hotel entry was open all night with no security and no staff anywhere on any of the properties. We were only provided with and emergency phone number. Had any of this been listed on line we definitely would have stayed elsewhere.

We booked a 2 bedroom suite with hot tub on the deck and a beautiful view. It was fabulous! Clean and the beds were super comfortable. Staff were great. We stayed the 1st night after driving the Icefields Pkwy from Jasper; 2nd night after visiting nearby Yoho National Park (fantastic), 3rd night after visiting Banff, Lake Louise, Moraine Lake…then we were set to head west to Vancouver.

Great place, but 1 staff member really hurt rating

Great stay, great place, one staff member was rude and unwilling to help and not pleasant, issue with restaurant and staff member not willing to help, but other staff were great, great place, would recommend but was incredibly shocked and one staff members extremely poor treatment and restaurants closed when all advertising said they should be open.

Usually not a review writer, but upon arrival to our hotel, the Palliser Lodge in Golden, BC , there's a note stating to check in elsewhere. The hotel isn't staffed, like there is literally not one worker in the entire building. If you need anything you have to call someone & wait for them to drive over to you. Upon arrival the room next door to 106B were having a dinner party, we couldn't hear our tv & had to have it up loud to drown out their noise to hear . They didn't end their party til well after posted quiet times. Other end of hotel seemed very quiet.listening/hearing 6 hours of people talk was annoying. I'm sure staff had to know people live in room next to ours. Yes we could have asked to be moved but after a day of hiking & unpacking stuff, we weren't about to pack it up n move. Something was strange as some rooms had doormats, come to find out people live in this hotel . The Nepresso spoons were cloudy so we thought that's just the way they are , nope they were dirty, like someone licked the spoon & left it & staff didn't wash them. We are on a 17 day Canadian Rocky trip & this was by far the worst hotel we stayed at. Since this building isn't manned it was extremely dirty , elevator was disgustingly dirty. Definitely will never stay here again.

More explanation of where to go to check in. It has to be the front of the building at glacier lodge to check in. The back of the building is key only. Elevator is not working. Other than that it’s a very nice stay.

Suites were nice. Very quiet and restful in the off season. Communication was good. I was disappointed at checkout. I let the staff know that there was a previous big stain on the outer shower curtain. There was no apology or anything just “I’ll let housekeeping know”. Left me feeling a bit negative about the stay.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. Our room was very warm with no AC and the fan too loyd for sleeping. Being ground floor we couldnt leave the patio door open at night. We reported the shower head, kettle and coffee machine all non functioining. It was OK for a one night stay en route to Banff but needs updating.

Room was good. Small things were broken like door handles, screens were missing or not hooked up to windows, hot tub quit working on day two of the trip. Elevator was broken and we stayed on the fourth floor. Water heater tank was being maintenanced during our stay. The fans provided for the room weren’t the greatest and falling apart. Left a day early because the unit was very warm.

We liked how quiet the unit was. there was a decent amount of kitchen stuff compared to other suites i have stayed. I also liked that the ensuite bathroom door was far enough from the bed you couldn't really see much light. I wish i noticed there wasn't a/c but atleast there were fans . the bathtub drain was pretty clogged and the screen door was pretty hard to open and close. But those we just tiny, normal issues i'm sure will get fixed.

We loved our stay at Palliser Lodge. The room was well equipped and the bed was great. The view from room 311B was stunning - looking out toward the mountains. We made good use of the balcony for our breakfasts and dinners. We would definitely recommend the Lodge and stay here again.
