Northland Lodge

We spent two enchanting nights at the Northland Lodge early in August. The rooms were spotless, the…read moreliving and dining areas comfortable and well appointed. The water in the sink and shower was hot and plentiful and the beds provided a great night's sleep. The muffins, fruit pie, and coffee are excellent. The proprietor, Stacy, was simply wonderful and told many entertaining tales and provided great advice for our stay in Waterton. The views from the upstairs rooms of Waterton are great and everyone can enjoy the upstairs deck with striking views of the entire area. At night, the galaxy is easily visible and I was able to take some great pictures of it. It is just a very short walk to Cameron falls as well as nice beaches on Waterton Lake. Altogether, I cannot recommend this place high enough!

This is a great guest lodge that has been created from an old house. All the rooms are more than…read morebig enough for what you need or at least our room was - this is no Holiday Inn size accommodation and that is the charm of it. Every morning there was fresh muffins and tea/coffee for all before people head out for the day. Can be a little crowded in the morning in the lounge but only because everyone is there at the same time. Lovely wrap around porch to enjoy the afternoon sunshine and view. Really love that they have kept the lounge area like a home - makes it feel cozy and would be great if the weather was bad. Clean rooms, enough blankets, heater if it gets very cold, good advice on places to eat and hikes, plus a 10 minute stroll into town. It looks further away on a map but is literally around the corner. Word of advice with all the guests at hotels mainly there for hiking a lot of the restaurants in town close early around 9pm so bear that in mind when planning dinner out. Highly recommend this spot and would happily stay again - sad they are not open in winter as planning a snowshoeing trip for later in the year. Room Tip: Stayed #9 Cowboy Room - on-suite, spacious, outside entry on the ground floor. Only real noise is if you have kids running on the patio/deck upstairs and really only in the day.

- nice, clean rooms - friendly check-in (it's Canada, so…read more...) - weird heater/thermostat arrangement with little instruction provided. We didn't mess with it but if we were staying longer, that would have been necessary. - super convenient to the town center. While staying in that fancy hotel on the hill looks appealing, we'd really rather have restaurants and shops right outside our door.

We had a 2 night stay in June. To check in you have to drive to the back of the hotel as there is…read moreno parking in the front of the hotel. We had a deluxe suite on the ground floor. The room itself is very nice. It is a suite with a separate sitting area with TV as you enter. You walk down a hallway past the washroom to the bedroom. There are TV's in fireplaces in both the sitting area and bedroom. The soap is provided by a plastic dispenser. For my husband this was not problem but my hands are much smaller and since the dispenser is a fairly hard plastic I could not squeeze hard enough to get the soap. I had to continuously ask for help to wash my hands. The room does not have a proper area in which to write or set up a computer. I think it is just poorly designed because there is room that could have been used to set up a desk. The air conditioning unit is extremely noisy. It is so loud that we ended up turning it off in the evening and opening the doors to get some cool air. This is not ideal when your room is on the ground floor. In the evening even when we turned off our air conditioner we could hear the air conditioner in the other unit. They do not have black out curtains so the room was too bright early in the morning. There are no laundry facilities. They suggested we take our laundry to another hotel in the Park. They are still working on renovations so although we had a deck there was no railing around the deck and consequently no chairs on the deck so we could sit outside. The hotel is in a great location and we were able to walk into town. I think that for over $300.00 a night it is not good value. The room is very nice but there are no amenities: no pool, no laundry facilities etc. The pricing is resort fee pricing for basic hotel services. The staff are very friendly and do their best to help.

Had a nice one-night stay while traveling through the area. While the lodge is not very close to…read morethe downtown area of Waterton, the town is not that big and it is worth the short walk to where the shopping and dining are located. I had a room upstairs and it was a roomy space, but don't expect a TV. This was actually a happy surprise for me as I wanted to be outdoors and not cooped up in a room with a TV going. It's an older hotel, so the walls are not very soundproof. For the most part that was not an issue, but the room next door was filled with small kids who did not have a TV to distract them...so running and screaming ensued.

Our group stayed here for the Waterton portion of our trip. We stayed in the 2 bedroom suite - 1…read morebed in each room plus a sofa bed in the living room that sleeps 6. Please note if you expand the sofa bed - there isn't much room in the living room to hang out. Pros: - the mini kitchenette: It comes with a nice large fridge*, a stovetop + oven, a sink, microwave and there's utensils/plates/cups. There's also various appliance: toaster, coffee maker, water heater and they supply you with dishwashing detergent and a rack to dry the dishes. - location: walking distance to everything in town (but the town is pretty small so most places are walking distance with the exception of the visitor center/Prince of Wales hotel) - The daily housekeeping was great and they supplied enough toiletries/towels for all of us. The mehs: - the 1 bathroom: the only bathroom in the suite is inside a bedroom...which meant everyone had to go through the bedroom to get to the bathroom. I think the set up is better for a family, not a group of friends. The water pressure was very good and retained the heat very well. - Free wifi but very slow. - No AC but they do provide plenty of fans. The room got pretty stuffy even with the windows open until the middle of the night - then it became a freezer box. Apparently everything in Waterton gets booked up really soon so book early if you have a preference. We booked this place in January for a July stay and there were barely any availabilities left. Parking: street or they have a small lot. This lodge is located inside Waterton National Park - so there's a daily entrance fee each car has to pay (19.60 CAN each day). Just let them know at the entrance how many days you plan to stay and pay all at once. If you are staying over 4 nights, it may be cheaper to get the annual pass. *If you are coming from the U.S. side via Kalispell, MT: I recommend picking up all your supplies there at Costco/Walmart. Groceries/food inside Waterton is really pricey and your selection is limited. We picked up everything on the U.S. side, brought a freezer bag and drove it into Waterton. We got plenty of lunch meat, breakfast supplies and water so we saved money by stashing everything in the fridge there.
