Athabasca Lodge Motel

We were given a kitchenette unit but it was hardly functional. They used one of those hotplates that you place into the counters, easily one of the cheaper models too. But the worse part of this is you cannot use just any pot and pan as it has a sensor that disables or prevents the stove from heating up. Needless to say, I never used to but thankfully brought my own. The internet speeds here was pretty bad too. Repeatedly the connection was dropping in and out, multiple wifi names with only one that works. I think the best one was the one in the office lobby, which sadly I was the furthest from. They offered breakfast but that table you see in the picture isn't there. You have to take your items to your room if you want to eat it, which makes it quite a far walk if you're the last unit down the row. There's definitely areas of improvement to make this visit a better one. Whether they address them or not is anyone's guess.

My visit was simply okay. Everything about the room was good, but the communication between us and the hotel was very poor. I requested not to be put beside a certain family member who was visiting at the same time, and instead of respecting my wishes they said, It would be so nice to put you two beside eachother!" When they didn't know the family dynamic and that there were tensions. They disregarded what we requested

The price was outrageous $ 160.00 some bucks for me and my husband and two little dogs. We asked for a pet friendly room and I was told to keep my dogs off the furniture. LOL. thought this was a pet" friendly room? I pulled one of the beddings down and there was crumbs and tin foil in the bed. We brought our own bedding in. Yuck. The shower head had such a white crust on it you could not move it to change up the shower. Not very friendly and I will not stay there again.Easy 60 bucks over paid."

Not recommended at all. Very poor attitude of the people at the front desk. Very sneaky about the reservation. They charge everything upfront and will not cancel or refund your reservation for any reason. I had a reservation for 9 nights but after the first night, realized I won't be able to stay here for another 8 nights. They would not refund any money and were extremely rude when talking to my head office. The rooms had these very strong air fresheners with a terrible odor. Had to keep my door and windows open for the first couple of days. All the drawers of the closet were broken except for one. The thermostat was totally useless, the heat would turn on and won't turn off until you do it manually. It was either too hot or too cold in the room, making it very inconvenient especially at night when you're trying to sleep. There was always a water dripping sound, sometimes from the kitchen and sometimes from the bathroom. I also noticed an insect in one of the kitchen cupboard as can be seen in the photo. Overall I had an extremely terrible experience and would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

The guy was nice when we were there and then charged us an extra 100$ once we left saying we stole a blanket we didn't steal... Very disappointing...

Staff was very friendly and incredibly accommodating! The room smelt very clean but I felt this was a bit of a cover up for slight laziness.... the dishes were greasy, the bathtub had hair in it... the towels are dark blue and when you dry yourself off lots of particles wipe off on you... plus the dark color is probably hiding stains... no bed bugs so that’s great!!! But mattress was VERY firm and looked somewhat new! They have BBQ’s outside you can use which I thought was pretty awesome. Over all room was incredibly dated... hoping they aren’t using the same bedding for the last 20-30 years. I believe if these rooms were deep cleaned, and updated with new curtains, blankets, pillows and towels it would dramatically change the atmosphere and over all feel of the room. Oh and switch all the lightbulbs for LED white light instead of energy sucking yellow lights would be a good idea too, because you can barely see yourself in the mirror...

The first night we froze to death. The girl at the front desk was very helpful she gave us more blankets and a heater. But it did not take the Chil off. The next morning I complained and right away she gave us a room with a heater that was working. And told us the heaters didn't work on that side of the building. My wife had a very bad night. The second night it was great we were warm all night. The girl at the front desk is very good

What could I say except they are nice people. The cleaning staff is very friendly. This place also serves a continental breakfast from 7 am to 9 pm.

Wasn't given the room I booked for. Internet is not working well. Room hasn't been cleaned in 2 days as promised every 2nd day. Very loud. I booked this motel because they said they could accommodate me. My wife can't come see me now because we can't get a room to bring our pups. They seem to be busy right now so don't care. Not your first choice.

The rooms are decent. They are clean and have kitchenettes, but the decor is very dated. Good enough for when a guys working though. However, I've stayed in very similar places for $75-80/night, so I was a little shocked to pay $110 + taxes. But that just seems to be the going rate in this area.
