Field Hotels & Accommodations

We stayed at the Mountaineer Lodge for 6 nights in April and we loved it! From the moment we got there we felt very welcomed and at home. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. We were in a recently renovated room in the main lodge and it was very clean and spacious. We liked the modern decor and the furniture and bed were very comfortable. There was lots of room to dry our ski gear after a day on the slopes. The bathroom was nice and clean and also a good size. Breakfast is included and it is excellent- there was always a good variety of hot items like eggs, sausage, bacon, potatoes and waffles/pancakes as well as breads, cereal, yogurt and fruit. The staff was very good at keeping all of the items stocked up, if something ran out more was put out right away. We have found this is sometimes a problem at other hotels but not here. We really appreciated the great service. And the breakfast room is quite large and has lots of tables so we never had a problem finding somewhere to sit. The hot tub is a great size and it was never too busy to have a nice apres-ski soak. We used it every day! There is also a free shuttle that picked us up right at the front door of the hotel and dropped us off at the main lodge at the Lake Louise Ski Resort. We used it every time we went skiing. The bus was always on time and the Mountaineer is the last pick up so it is a very short ride to the hill. So much nicer than trying to find a place to park and having to carry your gear across the parking lot. There are several pick up and drop off times which we found to be very convenient. Overall we feel that this is a fantastic place to stay and all the staff were very friendly and helpful. We will definitely come back again and would highly recommend this hotel!

The lighted cottage is immediately warm and warm. The authentic Shantou Kung Fu tea is brewed, and the fragrance of Shancong is permeated. Everything is so beautiful ... The scenery of Jinshan in the morning on the next morning is even more memorable.

The most important thing, I guess, is that the beds were comfortable. And the room itself seemed pretty clean. But the hallway! Filthy and a not great smell from the carpets. I realize that there are lots of staffing shortages...but if they don't have the staff to keep this up as a 5-star hotel, they should at least lower the rates. The breakfast was better than many....you can actually make fresh pancakes. But these motel breakfasts seem to lack healthy options.

This is not a review of the hotel but our experience of the customer service provided by Rooms at Riversedge Golden prior to arrival, specifically around information given about significant highway closures which can at best be described as selective, at worst deceitful/inaccurate/untruthful. Anybody considering booking this accommodation between September 25 to October 6 should be aware that the main route (highway 1) to/from Golden is closed both ways. The alternate route will add at least 2 hours to your journey to/from Golden. This hotel believes this is an acceptable alternative for guests who they know full well will be visiting several of the attractions in the area, all of which will be inaccessible during this time. The hotel did not inform us of this road closure. Instead we received the below information after we had booked in August: “Thank you once again for booking with us! For those guests travelling eastbound to Golden from Calgary, please be advised that there is construction on the Trans-Canada Highway just outside of Golden. Guests can expect minor delays during the day, up until 10:00pm (MT), at which time the highway closes. The highway remains closed throughout the night until 7:00am, and requires guests to take an alternate route. Should you have any questions or would like additional information we ask you to contact guest services at 250-272-1212.” Nowhere does it state the highway would be closed during our booking period. This information I found out myself the day before our arrival when planning our route. No refund was offered so I feel no choice to leave a negative review due to insufficient communication given to us about the highway closure during our specific planned dates of stay. It would not be asking too much for someone at this accommodation to inform guests who had booked during the period of the highway closure the true facts.

We chose this hotel because the places we usually stay in Golden that allow our dog were booked. The hotel is conveniently located right off the highway, but this also means it can be noisy. There is a restaurant attached, which was great for us, as we could pick up food to have in our room (we don't eat inside restaurants due to Covid concerns). The hotel and room were fairly clean, but there was a chunk of something that the vacuum had missed on the floor next to the bed. There were also a LOT of people walking right by our main floor window, which meant we ended up having to sit in the room with the drapes closed in order to have any privacy. I think the rooms in the back of the hotel would be quieter, and rooms on the second floor would be more private. (I'm not sure if the second floor is an option if one is travelling with a pet.) Basically, this hotel was just your average, 2 story, hotel on the side of the highway. It's fine, but the price is high for what you get.

The guy at the front desk was very attentive and told us how to park and get to the room. The hotel has a car to Moraine Lake. There is a Chinese restaurant next to it on foot. Very close to Lake Louise.

The room was clean including the bathroom. Excellent front desk service both for check in and check out including breakfast buffet. The clerk provided clear information on Hwy 1 construction and opening times for traffic so detour via Radium Hot Springs was avoided. Very much appreciated. I would stay there again.

The manager should be an Indian, next to Highway 1, and the traffic conditions are good. There is a truck that has a rest on the road. A stop sign at the intersection is easily blocked by the truck. Pay attention to traffic safety. There are several areas in front of and behind the hotel. The pool and laundry room are upstairs. The room, bathroom and bed are not bad. The TV looks very cool. There is breakfast, but there are not many varieties, only waffles, bread and eggs that are baked by myself. Next to the hotel there is a local grill, Chinese restaurant, several fast food restaurants and a liquor store. If you want something else, you need to drive through the river and enter the city.
