What guests think

At Western Lodge, travelers report a friendly vibe and good value, but also uneven operations, with praise for helpful staff contrasted by inconsistent front-desk coverage, variable breakfast quality, and maintenance issues like noisy or ineffective air conditioning.

Rooms are generally clean but dated, with small or tired bathrooms, limited outlets, and occasional musty or smoke smells. The location is quiet and convenient for the highway and ski hill, and parking is easy. The attached restaurant draws positive comments when open, though hours can be limited. Expect a budget-friendly, no-frills stay with some operational quirks.

Very friendly staff, good amenities, the free breakfast included hot eggs. Nice lobby area. No elevator, so you do have to lift your luggage up two short flights of stairs. Our bathroom was a bit tired, but everything worked.

The people were wonderful! Treated me extremely well. The room was large, clean and well maintained, BUT lacked functionality. Not enough electrical outlets in appropriate places. The tv only had access to those who with Netflix/Prime accounts. There is no wi fi service available. The rooms are all on the 2nd floor with only stair access so not disabled friendly. The hotel has potential but those issues need addressing.

Good instructions on gaining access…but very impersonal. No ice machine. Slight Noise from next rooms tv. My tv didn’t work (not an issue as had I-pad). Didn’t see another human being…expect that if arriving after 8.00pm , but I arrived 5.30pm. But room clean and comfortable and reasonably priced.

The staff were very friendly. The room overall was ok but the bed was uncomfortable. It was disappointing that we were not able to dine at the restaurant as it was closed the day we were there. Overall though it was a nice place to stay. I do have to say I was disappointed in the info centre who told us the locals have mixed reviews on the restaurant and wouldnt cross the line to even have a drink there. It is not good for business when the place tourists go for suggestions tell you to stay away from the place you booked.

Perfect little layover - the onsite restaurant is fantastic. The rooms are definitely just a freshen up of whatever previous motel was there but they are clean and comfortable, no frills. Hot breakfast in the morning was a pleasant surprise

A good hotel. Lots of stairs, no elevator. Make sure to call ahead if your check-in time is a bit later, since they don't staff the reception desk at all hours.

Stayed here for a Family Day long weekend ski trip. First time. Enjoyed our stay! Breakfast was delicious and big! Building is older but renovated so has a rustic charm, some minor wear and tear. Room was clean and warm. Bed was firm and comfy. Bathroom had some wear and tear but spacious and clean. Room had a fridge and coffeemaker which we used, as well as a microwave that we didn't use. TV was "roku" which was new to me, couldn't figure out how to get live sports but I didn't care because we went out to a pub anyway - didn't come here to watch TV. The only downside to our stay was "the Porch" restaurant downstairs was closed due to a family issue which was understandable. No worries because we went out to town to eat anyway. Thanks for a great stay. Yes I would stay here again!

Breakfast was good, there was nobody ever at front counter. Our bathroom sink was cracked plastic and so disgusting. Shower controlles had a mind of their own. Under beds were not vacuumed in a long time. Or AC unit was filthy. Seems that this hotel is under renovation. Front entrance is all new. Seems that some rooms have been renovated but we got stuck in an old room.

We made the best of it, but there were a few problems with the room. First, the bed was a double and not a queen as specified. Second, we were very lucky that it wasn’t a particularly hot night as the air conditioner was EXTREMELY noisy but we were able to turn it off and open the window and not be too uncomfortable. Third, the bathroom smelled of cigarette smoke. I assume there have been smokers using the bathroom exhaust fan to suck up their cigarette smoke in the non-smoking room.

Room refunded and cut our vacation short. Drove home 4 hour drive. Wouldn’t recommend staying here until Reno’s are done to the hotel.

The plusses are a fantastic breakfast, great staff, a roku in the room, super cute lobby and decor, modern door code entry and super clean! There is no elevator which might be a negative to some. Would stay again.

I didn’t like that there was almost never anyone available at the counter. I didn’t like calling for a room spruce up on two consecutive days and the room was never freshened up once. I didn’t like running out of toilet paper and an extra roll was not provided. I did like the Breakfast, those two ladies do a five star job of that.

No one on site at any point … serious security concerns. Young man out front who had paid for his room but couldn’t get in or reach anyone by the hotel contact number. We couldn’t get the tv to work called the hotel contact number - never received a response. Hotel entrance, lobby and hallways were nicely upgraded, however no money spent on the room. The continental breakfast was poor … black bananas and awful looking muffins. Overall a very poor experience. We won’t be back!

I was on a road trip and need a place to stay for one night. I guess it served it's purpose. Breakfast was at 8. And very minimal. Not very convenient. But at the end of the day I slept well.

Breakfast sausages were boiled and grey. No bacon. Scrambled eggs were ok...potatoes needed a bit more par boil before frying. Choice of brown or white bread only. No fresh fruit or baked goods. Service person couldnt answer questions and responded with "I just work here" multiple times. No autonomy to change policy to keep customer happy. Mattresses were old and had stains. After house cleaning went through room, dirty coffee mugs were left. Bad training of staff...bad cooking all comes down to poor management. Booked for 2 nights left after one.
