    other guests airing their dirty laundry and fighting late at night in the parking lot for everybody to hear--children were trying to sleep while these hooligans were fighting--the hotel should screen their guests better, so they are not "letting in the trash" to their fine establishment

    beef brisket in the restaurant was excellent!

    the "resort" is very rundown. the restaurant was not really a restaurant, very run down from 10yrs ago. I was excited to revisit but I was disappointed.

    the bathroom had been renovated, the heating had been updated.

    The floors were cold - we had a pet friendly room, I don't know if the regular rooms had carpets. There was also a sign in the room saying that if there were pet hairs on the bedspread/duvet that we would be charged $200. I was very paranoid then about my dog as she does like to jump on the furniture. Would have helped to know this before as I would have bought separate bedding/blanket to protect the bed.

    Nice motel style room on Cline River, 15mins walk to Abraham Lake. Room had all necessary amenities. Beds were comfortable and bathroom was decent with plenty of hot water. Ate at the one site restaurant which was very busy (Saturday evening on a long public holiday weekend), but staff were clearly working very hard and we got our food a lot quicker than expected.

    Wifi signal was extremely weak in the room, and therefore could not check anything on my phone. I had to get out of the room in order to get a stronger signal. Also, the first morning, housekeeping ladies were quite loud and making noise with their carts at 8 AM, which disturbed my rest/sleep.

    Staff was friendly. Very quiet location.

    The bathroom was pretty average. The place was quite cold and not particularly well insulated, though we did have a small electric heater which helped. Overall it is good value for money, but don't expect to be wowed by the place.

    The bed was comfy and the remoteness of the location made it really nice because it far less touristic than your usual Banff/Jasper. You can arrive and leave at any time (we arrived late in the evening and left before 6am) which is really good because you don't need someone to check in/check out.

    Like most motels, the windows could use some modesty screening. There seemed to be a few bits of old equipment laying around in some areas which gave these areas an untidy appearance but it was the end of the season so maybe this will be addressed before next year. Service in the Grocery Store was poor - unhelpful and quite rude. This was only one individual, a large, scruffy guy, so maybe we just lucked out. Everyone else we met was charming.

    We had great communication from the property in advance, as we expected to arrive outside normal hours. We actually made it in good time and received a lovely warm welcome at Reception, the staff seemed very pleased to meet me and greeted me by name, very professional. There’s no hiding the fact that the accommodation is motel quality, but it offered everything it promised and the room was very clean and very comfortable. Service in the Restaurant was very friendly and welcoming and the food was great and delivered swiftly. The views from the room (and around the Resort) were wonderful. Pinto Lake is a very short ride and the views across the water early in the morning were magnificent.

    Needed assistance checking in and employee was rather ruse. Was given room above laundry room and right where all go up the stairs. Thankfully people were not too loud too late. The beds were made with a flat sheet too small to fit under the mattress. I had to redo my bed throughout the night. Sheets had stains and holes. Pillows were not comfortable and one had stains. Bathroom was OK. Functional.

    A beautiful drive to the property

    Rooms were freezing, no heating or a heater considering it was 3 degrees. Slightly dusty and the bedding had some spot marks.

    Rooms were big and the location was a great in between stop. But that's all it is, don't expect much from the facilities or place.

    The restaurant takes its last order at 7 (which is very early) and there is no atmosphere of any music (just the hard sound of a fridge). The staff in the shop and the restauramt is a bit strange. Room was OK, but the power was off several times..

    Nice room
