What guests think
At Palliser Lodge — Bellstar Hotels & Resorts, travellers repeatedly praise the quiet mountain setting, spacious suites with kitchens and balconies, and some private hot tubs, while several reviews note limited on‑site services in shoulder seasons and off‑site check‑in.
Many units lack air conditioning and can run warm in summer, and elevator outages appear in multiple reports. Cleanliness and maintenance are mixed, ranging from spotless rooms to complaints about dirty dishes, dust, and minor repairs or hot‑tub issues. Overall, it suits travelers seeking mountain tranquility more than full‑service convenience.

Slope side accommodation was nice. Hot tub area never had clean towels so you had to bring shower towels from your room. Hot tub is dark and difficult to read instructions etc as no light. Ski lockers were full no space so needed to leave skis in vehicle. No proper area to put on ski boots - cannot have any ski gear in room or common area. Never seen this before in a ski based hotel - frustrating

Super noisy. They advertised a sauna, there was no sauna and the hot tub was not a proper hot tub, more of a warm pool. No staff on sight, everything around it was closed because of the “shoulder season”.

There was only 1 dishcloth/ dish towel, a few more would have been nice. Written instructions on the coffee table for how to use the TV/ DVD player would have made relaxing a little easier. Private hot tub was great! Thank goodness we had popped out in the morning early enough... before the chemical guy got there.... that could have been awkward!

Room was good. Small things were broken like door handles, screens were missing or not hooked up to windows, hot tub quit working on day two of the trip. Elevator was broken and we stayed on the fourth floor. Water heater tank was being maintenanced during our stay. The fans provided for the room weren’t the greatest and falling apart. Left a day early because the unit was very warm.

A bit away from the base but really quiet. A nice hot tub area. Parking is easy. A little worn around the edges room (original furniture) wise but each unit is different. I prefer it to the two buildings that are right beside the gondola. Bellstar runs it and they do an above average job.

The suite was comfortable and roomy. It was so peaceful on the mountain, the views are amazing. Some care and attention to the property are needed, as well as a good vacuuming behind nightstands, dusting of blinds baseboards etc. This wouldnt deter me from staying again though.

The room was nice. ….. but the cleanliness was terrible, we had to wash every dish by hand that we needed. The tap in the kitchen didn’t work, called maintenance staff. They didn’t know how to fix it. The dishwasher was not doing its “job”. All of the doors were unlocked to a ground floor patio. For $425 per night I expected a lot more…. Probably could have stayed at the Super 8 for a 1/4 price point and had a better stay.

Our room was dirty. There was no housekeeping at all the entire time we were there. No one would answer the front desk phone. It was like a ghost town. On top of that there were lights out in the room that didn’t work. Overall, it was just a horrible experience.

I’ll start off with the good, the beds were comfortable and the bedding was clean. The hot tub in the suite was also very nice. Now to the bad, we booked this vacation for our 10 year wedding anniversary, upon arrival we where locked out of our room for 30 mins with our children and pet, tried calling the front desk no answer for over 12 times calling. Once we got into our room it was absolutely filthy! I have many pictures to back this up. I’m not sure if because it’s a pet friendly room it’s in this condos but I’ve never stayed anywhere this dirty I was so upset! I had to get medication from a local grocery store to control my allergies from all the dust and filth. I’ve never in my life seen a hotel in this condition. I feel like the changed the sheets for us and that was it. We had seen a cleaner 2 times in our 3 day trip and she was in those rooms for hours so I’m not sure what is happening but unfortunately we will never return.

Beautiful views . Sadly , I arrived just after 5:00 pm and there were zero food options . I had to travel back down the mountain for a meal and or anything else needed to be purchased . Nothing available mid week . Also , the cleanliness of the room was to be desired . Coffee grounds / water left in the pot . Cigarette wrapper on the ground by the kitchen area , toe nail clippings out on the deck with food crumbs , table and kitchen area not wiped clean . It honestly seemed unclean except for the linens & towels , they were proper .

Usually not a review writer, but upon arrival to our hotel, the Palliser Lodge in Golden, BC , there's a note stating to check in elsewhere. The hotel isn't staffed, like there is literally not one worker in the entire building. If you need anything you have to call someone & wait for them to drive over to you. Upon arrival the room next door to 106B were having a dinner party, we couldn't hear our tv & had to have it up loud to drown out their noise to hear . They didn't end their party til well after posted quiet times. Other end of hotel seemed very quiet.listening/hearing 6 hours of people talk was annoying. I'm sure staff had to know people live in room next to ours. Yes we could have asked to be moved but after a day of hiking & unpacking stuff, we weren't about to pack it up n move. Something was strange as some rooms had doormats, come to find out people live in this hotel . The Nepresso spoons were cloudy so we thought that's just the way they are , nope they were dirty, like someone licked the spoon & left it & staff didn't wash them. We are on a 17 day Canadian Rocky trip & this was by far the worst hotel we stayed at. Since this building isn't manned it was extremely dirty , elevator was disgustingly dirty. Definitely will never stay here again.

I wasn’t happy with the property because it was dirty . We were at a wedding at the resort that started at four. They had rules about giving me the key early. I understood that and we went into the room after the wedding at 1 am. There was a used tooth floss pick in the sink and in the room on the counter was the cover of someone’s razor. We checked out a day early because if didn’t know if they skipped other things like the sheets . Made me uneasy. I told the front desk just so they know the room wasn’t clean. She said I should have called them to come and clean it - at one am when we just wanted to sleep ?! I had already paid for it so I just took the loss and left. She offered me 13 dollars to cover the resort fee for the day that we left early. They couldn’t accommodate early check in due to cleaning of the rooms ( totally get that) but at one am and the room isn’t clean - that was unpleasant.

The room was clean and nicely appointed. We didn't realize the building was unattended and once we got there, had to go back down the hill to the Glacier Lodge building. The staff there was helpful and was (supposedly) 24/7. The people above us and over one unit were VERY loud at around 1am. I tried calling the front desk around 2am several times with no answer. Luckily the noise ended shortly after (around 2:30). Terrible sleep before a long day of driving. I mentioned the lack of response from overnight staff on checkout; a cursory apology and no explanation given. While guests sign off specifically on noise restrictions (quiet time 10pm-7am) there seems to be no enforcement for those that ignore it. I expected better.

The property is getting a bit outdated and it’s showing. The unit was very clean, however sinks were slow to drain, bathroom door handle falling off, blinds are broken and dated. Good enough value for the money - but a few upgrades would really make this unit much more appealing.

The room is spectacular, the mountain view is amazing and the parking was super easy and convenient. The staff member that checked us in went above and beyond. She was super friendly and very accommodating...especially when the check-in time is 4pm and we show up at 10am hoping to check-in early. With a quick check of her system, we have our room key, code and instructions. The best check-in service we've ever had.

Booked this room because it was listed as a good deal on hotels.com. When we arrived there was no staff at the hotel and we had to go down the road to another property to check in. The staff at the other site said it was not staffed because it cost too much. We were then charged an additional “resort” fee in addition to what we paid on line which was not stated on line. Not sure why considering nothing was working??? The room had no air conditioning and we were told to use a fan. It smelled stale and was dirty. The hotel entry was open all night with no security and no staff anywhere on any of the properties. We were only provided with and emergency phone number. Had any of this been listed on line we definitely would have stayed elsewhere.

The hotel entry was open all night with no security and no staff anywhere on any of the properties. We were only provided with and emergency phone number. Had any of this been listed on line we definitely would have stayed elsewhere.

The room was clean and nicely appointed. We didn't realize the building was unattended and once we got there, had to go back down the hill to the Glacier Lodge building. The staff there was helpful and was (supposedly) 24/7. The people above us and over one unit were VERY loud at around 1am. I tried calling the front desk around 2am several times with no answer. Luckily the noise ended shortly after (around 2:30). Terrible sleep before a long day of driving. I mentioned the lack of response from overnight staff on checkout; a cursory apology and no explanation given. While guests sign off specifically on noise restrictions (quiet time 10pm-7am) there seems to be no enforcement for those that ignore it. I expected better.

Great drive up! Friendly staff, decent accommodations for the off season price. But no verification when calling for early checkout when left a voice mail

Love the spacious balcony with the Mountain View so much! Had our dinner everyday on the balcony. Beds are comfortable. Fan, microwave, kettle, breakfast toaster, plates and utensils are all provided. Just one thing u need to know that u need to check in/out at glacier lodge if you’re staying at palliser lodge as there’s no front desk there. This is not mentioned in the instructions provided by Expedia so it was bit confusing at the beginning . Overall is a 5-star experience and will come back for sure!

Great place to stay on the hill. Very reasonably priced (unlike many other options there). Very nice room with little kitchenette and comfortable bed. And it was quiet which was super important. I will be back :)

A 1 night stay up in the Mountains as your away from everything. Your about a 20 min drive to Golden which does have a few restaurants and has basic amenities what is needed. It’s peaceful up here as there’s mountain biking and hiking among other outdoor activities. This property is nice, as I did get this room on a discount through expedias website.

Stayed a night off season. Had to check in at other hotel. Also non of the restaurants or shops at the resort were open. Not a problem but would have been nice to have known in advance so we didn’t have to drive back to town (15min) to get food. Clean, quiet, secure parking . Room bigger than expected with full kitchen. Only downside the curtains didn’t fully cover the windows and it’s summer so a lot of daylight

Dining
On‑site dining is limited, and restaurants are often closed in the shoulder season, so many guests drive to town or bring groceries. When open, feedback on food quality is mixed.

There was no air conditioning and the patio door had no screen on it so it was so hard to cool the room without getting eaten by mosquitoes. There was only one restaurant on the property and it closed at 9pm which wasn’t ideal. The ice maker in the building was broken. The place had the potential to be much better than it was. I’m sure in the winter, it is great.

We were at Kicking Horse from June 24-26 and because it was before official summer holidays, not a lot of services were available. There was only one restaurant at the bottom of the hill. Cafe was not open (even though the person at the front desk told me it should be). The gondola is not working so no ability to go to the top of the mountain. My son had fun on the MTB trains on the lower half, which he got to by taking the ski lift. As for our accommodations, we were in the Palliser Lodge, which needs some maintenance. Most of the windows would not open - the opening mechanism seemed to be stripped and turning the window crank did nothing. I appreciated having a full kitchen but the stove didn’t consistently work. We also had a hot tub and I found broken glass on the balcony. A bit more care at cleaning and maintaining the rooms would make a huge difference.

We booked last year in early May ,and was not aware that nothing was open for restaurants or the gondola. We ended up having to drive down the mountain and buy all our food. The staff informed us that everything opens the long weekend. With that information ,we booked this past long weekend instead. Arrived and found nothing open again. Found out it opens at the end of May. Ended up leaving early. Be prepared with groceries.

This is basically a well appointed, maintained condo that’s high above Golden. There’s a cable car up the ski hill, worth checking out for the view and possible hiking trails. We loved it!
