What guests think

At Glacier Mountaineer Lodge, reviewers consistently praise the dramatic on‑mountain setting and views, while noting trade‑offs like a remote location, dated areas, and variable room sizes and comfort, especially in warmer months due to rooms lacking air conditioning.

Many enjoyed ski-in/ski-out access, mountain views from balconies, and well-equipped suites with kitchens. Service feedback is mixed: numerous guests found staff friendly and helpful, while others reported poor communication and confusing check-in in a separate building. Facilities draw recurring complaints about elevator outages, hot tub or sauna closures or booking requirements, occasional Wi‑Fi issues, and extra fees for underground parking; off‑season dining is limited or closed, so many drove to Golden. Expect stunning scenery and quiet, resort-style lodging best suited to self-sufficient travelers.

Resort was ok this is a strata resort, room was good patio off bedroom was great. Not a lot of eating places up there which was inconvenient. Resort indicated hot tub, absolutely fail on this it was disgustingly dirty. This resort would be much more appealing if there was some upgrades.

Elevator was not working and we were on the fourth floor. Other amenities were out of order as well, I’m sure this is there off season so I understand needing to make updates. Knowing this before booking would have been nice. Staff was excellent and extremely helpful with information about the area.

Friendly staff but overall an aging building. Elevator is stupid slow. Workout room is a joke with some equipment that must be 30 years old. Nice outdoor hot tub. Room was fine, but could use with new curtains/shades, especially if you face the mountain as they keep a bright light on for some reason. Can't beat the location, but like all things RCR they really could use to invest in maintenance and upkeep a bit more.

This is a beautiful ski resort facility at base of lifts. Lovely spacious well appointed condo unit with full kitchen. Great view. The only issue was elevator not working and our room was on 3rd floor. Staff assisted us with carrying luggage to our room and gave us free parking in garage to accommodate the inconvenience.

Loved being up on the mountain, views were amazing; but the rooms were in need of some upkeep, the linens were dirty (even when we asked for fresh ones), and the floors needed a good vacuum/scrub. There was a live bedbug in the sheets in our first room. We were grateful to be moved out of there to the other building where the room was much nicer, but still could have been improved with better cleaning and linens without stains.

Expectations from photos did not match the reality. Friendly front desk staff is the only positive

This is my second review for this property . This time we got a room without a ceiling fan , warm and smelly... Receptionist was nice and tried all possible options , but nothing worked for us . I know , this property has no air conditioning and I'm fine with that. But to leave your guests without any options is brutal... We also had a little surprise on the balcony - birds nest and bird poop on the floor. One of the guests mentioned it in her review earlier , but nothing was done... See photos attached. I will avoid this place and stay in Golden next time... I stayed at this resort for two days only and I never got that much negative experience in 10 years of traveling...

The property and setting were very nice and there seemed to be some nice amenities available. It is a bit of a drive from Golden but we knew this ahead of time. We were very disappointed in the room which did not look anything like to picture and much smaller and needed updating. It seemed like a smaller adjoining room from another condo and was smaller than most standard hotel rooms we have stayed in. The covering on the chair was worn off and looked like it should have been replaced years ago. Very disappointing for the price.

When we got to the reception to get the keys , I told receptionist Valentina that we checked in online (and I got a confirmation from the hotel) . Valentina , the receptionist, twice told me that I didn't check in , until the system loaded and she saw she's wrong... No apologies... Then she asked if we read the property policies. I said yes , we did. When I asked her where we should park , she mentioned in an arrogant manner that she already asked us if we read the property policies and I said yes... A bitter aftertaste to have a such a service... Valentina is not suitable to work with customers , absolutely unacceptable...

Our stay was fine. Not horrible but not good. It was a place to go to bed after the day. The staff was not helpful in the least, provided us with no information on what was available around us and in the hotel. The elevator broke and they didn’t offer any help to anyone checking in or out with their bags. Seemed generally uninterested in providing any level of service. No air conditioning and our window was taped shut. Probably won’t stay here again.

The staff were all very rude and not helpful. It seemed everything was broken (elevators, and steam room) or unavailable (non-decaf coffee, milk the simple little things). For the rate at which this resort charges we expected a lot more. When we asked the staff at the front desk they were rude. We tried to ask different staff members should it just be one person on a bad day, but it was all of them. Wouldn't recommend this place at all to stay at.

The room itself was incredible! Beautiful view and nice little balcony to sit on and enjoy. But the check in was super confusing as it was in a completely different building. So after unloading luggage, walking around to the the correct building only to be told our room is in the building we originally were at. Had to pay the resort fee, only to find out nothing is open. No gondola, no restaurants, or anything as a matter of fact. Definitely not a place to stay when it’s not snowy out. So pretty bothered by having to pay the fee when we got nothing out of it.

Go off season as long as you expect to want nothing but quiet and no crowds. No elevator service as this is when maintenance is done on them. Vending machine service is extremely limited. No dining options. No stores. Eat in Golden, BC or bring your food with you. Very small rooms.

The hotel is quite a ways outside the town of Golden. There was an onsite restaurant thankfully to avoid having to drive back in to eat. The food was okay. The room was very small, carpet was stained from previous water leaks but everything else was clean. It was just an overnight for us. Definitely a ski-focused location so for a summer stay it was ok. Staff was friendly.
