    The parking is a little tight, but still manageable. Water pressure in the room was minimal, and the a/c could use better directions.

    We loved the location, the quaintness of the boutique inn was so sweet and even though the front office was under construction there was someone always available to assist.

    Check in time could be more flexible.

    LOVE the location! We can park and just walk the town. I didn't have breakfast (was there breakfast available??) Got a nice welcome call from the employee on site - she was super friendly and welcoming. I wish you offered earlier check in as the room was ready way before I could get into it. We have stayed at Lamphouse many times over the years.

    The no contact check-in and non-existent staff presence makes this feel like a really impersonal stay I'm sorry to say. Which would be fine if it wasn't costing as much as it does. My room door had a gap at the bottom because the weather stripping was damaged and we ended up having to put a towel down at night to make sure bugs didn't get in. Also the TV remote didn't work at all. Not sure if batteries were dead or what? Normally you'd go down to the front desk or whatever, but I didn't feel that was even an option here, especially by the time we noticed these things.

    Great location, I imagine that's the main reason everyone stays here. The rooms are clean and pretty nice. I like that our room came with extra glasses, an electric kettle and drink mixer. Also an extra fan.

    Lots of noise very thin walls and kids upstairs stomping around till 1130. It was also confusing as to the location since they have three different properties. I was not the only person who went to the wrong check in place. This needs to be made more clear especially when you google it on maps.

    The location was excellent.

    Value for money was not very impressive for an unstaffed motel. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again, but would consider whether there are other options in the area first.

    As others have noted, this is a renovated motel with no staff on site. The automated self check-in was not without hiccups but after calling the number provided by the hotel during business hours (5 pm) it was fairly easy to sort out. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and large - enough that we could set up a tent and tarp in the living area to dry out. Our room backed onto the creek and had a view of the mountains.

    On arrival our access code to the room didn't work and we had difficulty getting hold of anyone to assist as there was no one on site. It happened to another couple who arrived mid evening which was a real problem until another guest gave us a (different) mobile number and we managed to contact someone from the hotel by WhatsApp and they remotely re-set the access code. I feel they ought to have someone on site to deal with evening arrivals.

    The hotel was very well positioned in the town of Canmore.

    When I got there I couldn't get into my room because my credit card was declined. They have a phone outside that connects to the other hotel. THere is nobody at the front desk, other reviews mention this as well. I ended up physically walking over to their other hotel to get things sorted out, certainly could have been handled better. If you go, make sure you get the email with room number and password to get in before your trip.

    Location, room, amenities, tub, proximity to downtown are great.

    There are multiple Lamphouse properties and it’s hard to work out which one you are booked into.

    A weird thing happened on Tuesday night when other guests tried to get into my room, cause they were assigned it as well. Went back to bed then front desk staff came and knocked again to confirm who I was. The TV in the room was unplugged and when I plugged it in it was a fuzzy screen and it didn't seem to work, I left it unplugged, couldn’t watch the Stanley cup finals 😢 The hot water takes about 5 minutes to warm up enough for a shower and the room AC was really loud.

    On the positive side room was very clean, staff were kind and bed and pillow were super comfortable.

    Heaters kicked on with a startling sound then run in silence. Room temperature perfect otherwise. Neighbors' doors closing startled us too. These are minor issues.

    Room with a view surrounded by mountains. (see pics) The river flows through town right outside the window. We visited early May before the seasonal swell of tourism. Cleanliness: Spic and Span. Comfort: right on. Water pressure: excellent. Location: unbelievably good. Black out curtains for the 5am-ish sunrise: Thank You! Coffee and pastries at on-site Electric Wolf café are great. Windows on both sides of room; the view to the West is stunning while view to east is the lovely river. There are good restaurants, shops, bars, etc., right next door. A hippie bulk store called Nutters a block away. DeGrassi Jr. High on the TV! Oh, Canada! Since Basecamp are all over the area, I wish I could try out all of them for comparison, but Lamphouse in Canmore won me over.

    There is quite some noise pollution with the pub next door, rather thin walls and a fridge rather on the loud side.

    The beds were really comfy, I loved the pillows, too, and the location just at the upper end of Main Street is awesome, of course

    The rooms are comfy but they can improve on some sort of sound proofing as I could hear the conversation of the next rooms or TV from the room. Walls are thin.

    The location is amazing. It is near to shops and restaurants that are all walking distance from one another. Easy check in and check out process.

    Since every communication with the staff is done through phone/sms/emails, it might take a while to get a simple answer for a quick question. The provided phone number didn’t work for calls.

    It is extremely well located, you can go everywhere on foot. The room is comfortable and fits most traveller needs.
