What guests think
At David Thompson Resort, travellers consistently praise the spectacular, remote mountain setting near Abraham Lake, while reporting very basic, mixed-quality rooms, unreliable in-room Wi-Fi, thin walls, and no air conditioning.
Many guests noted recent renovations and comfortable beds, and appreciated the convenience of an onsite restaurant, store, fuel and laundry. Common frustrations include early restaurant closing times, high prices for food and rooms, intermittent power, and housekeeping or maintenance lapses such as mold, pests, or missing basics. Expect a simple, no-frills stopover in a stunning but very remote location.

We rented one of the rooms for one night. The room was clean, and seemed recently updated. Everything worked in the room. Wifi was provided. It wasn’t super fast but being located in the mountains it was adequate. There was no air conditioning but there was heat. There are coin operated laundry and dryers. There is also coin operated vending machines with snacks and drinks. There is a small store that has a good variety of items. A small restaurant with good food, but can quickly get busy. The place was surprisingly fun. You have mini golf, a classic old style playground and a general oasis for both travelers and guests (I.e a old style gas pump and store) for a place in the middle of “nowhere” it’s a nice place to stay.

The resort itself is mediocre at best. The washrooms in the public area were disgusting. The womens bathroom was worse than any roadside gas station bathroom I have ever been in. The restaurant was ok nothing special but ok. The Cowboy Pub in the campground was cool. Great staff, good food, fun atmosphere, that was a highlight. Stayed in the motel. It was clean but the bed was uncomfortable. It was adequate and it was better than camping in the rain but not worth 300.00 in my opinion. There are no other hotel accommodations in the area and its high season so I'm not shocked or disappointed. Just leaving an honest review.

The place is pretty run down and badly needs up dates. However my biggest beef is that the place is supposed to be “pet friendly”. It is in the motel room, but the only restaurant on site (and for many miles) doesn’t allow dogs on the patio, so we had to eat our dinner on the bed. Meal was frozen triangle fish and chips. Restaurant closes at 7:30pm. Poor selection of food, and the power to the whole site was off in the morning, so no breakfast. The motel room was clean, but very basic and noisy. Bedding was really nice. The area is spectacular and worth the visit, but not a great place to stay for more than a stopover night.

This is a camp ground with a building that offers hotel style rooms. It is located close to a river but otherwise it is 20 miles from anything else. There is a gas station, grocery store and a restaurant on site, but be aware that all of them operated on limited hours. Otherwise it was a nice stay. Rooms are recently renovated and were reasonably nice. The building however seems to still be in the process of renovation.

This must have been a pretty fancy place a long time ago. I thought it was expensive for what it was, but I guess that is expected in a touristy area in August. We were a little bit disappointed as we had just driven 5 hours up hwy 40 with zero services, and when we arrived at the resort and got checked in, the restaurant was closed. There is a convenience store, but they did not have anything other than chips and pop! (there was mac and cheese, but no facilities to actually cook and eat that)... so our family ate chips and dip for dinner. We thought maybe if we at least bought a carton of milk, that might count as some sustenance, but there wasn't even milk! Perhaps we just came on the wrong day of the week. We would stay again for sure, but to camp next time - and come more prepared.

Location was great. However, the restaurant closed at 7pm. We were forced to buy "remaining food" from the convenience store with very very limited choices! The restaurant should be opened for at least 9pm considering the facility location.

Room was dirty also the bathroom , the bedding was also dirty and not ironed. It is very noisy with people walking past your door and the walls are very thin. There’s not a lot to see around here apart from a big lake. It was not worth the money they charged, Plus the kettle was dirty inside . If you’re not be fussy it’s okay to stay at this place.

The ambience was good. I observed that in my room only the towels were kept new, garbage were removed and the bed was made. The bathroom looked newly renovated but there was no cleaning of the surfaces or floors. The shower area and the bathroom sink was nasty and there was a stinky smell in the washroom. The heat wasn’t working properly.

Very unique and remote facility that offers a safe and comfortable place to stay as close to the middle part of the Park to allow you to explore more without the long drives. Keep in mind this location offers very little to no cell service and the wifi provided is weak to none so staying in touch to the outside world in the evenings is marginal and takes patients

The thin doors between the connecting rooms create for noise to carry through I could see this be an issue for some. The setting in the mountains is pretty special and that alone bumps up its raining. The restaurant and staff were very friendly great service.

Good that it had laundry machines, bad that some of them were out of order. Limited dining options at the one restaurant. Luckily we found a better option just up the road. Best part is that the resort is in the middle of beautiful landscape and lake

I didn’t expect much before staying at this property because it’s basically in the middle of nowhere, but I thought it would at least be quiet. Unfortunately, there were other guests at this motel who loudly partied till past 11:30pm at which point I had to put in earplugs in order to sleep. Management did not respond to my messages asking them to do something about the noise. I see no reason to ever stay here again.

The location is perfect for visiting sites along the Hwy 11 corridor near Abraham Lake (reservoir). Our renovated room was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed our morning coffee taking in the mountain views from the deck over the office. We did not try the restaurant or use other services; we were there for hiking in the area at the end of June. Staff were friendly and quick to respond to requests.

Good accommodations off the beaten path. We enjoyed our stay. The accommodations were sufficient and enabled us to explore around the David Thompson area. Restaurant was basic and you pay a premium for the isolation. A frozen hamburger meal seemed pricey for what it was. So we ended up getting food elsewhere. Overall - good experience. Would return if I am specifically visiting that area.

Very basic accommodations in one of the most beautiful part of the Rockies! Would stay again for the proximity to extraordinary hikes. Was pleasantly surprised by the restaurant on site!

No breakfast with accommodation booking. It can be purchased at the restaurant, but it is very expensive with limited vegetarian options.

The place is pretty run down and badly needs up dates. However my biggest beef is that the place is supposed to be “pet friendly”. It is in the motel room, but the only restaurant on site (and for many miles) doesn’t allow dogs on the patio, so we had to eat our dinner on the bed. Meal was frozen triangle fish and chips. Restaurant closes at 7:30pm. Poor selection of food, and the power to the whole site was off in the morning, so no breakfast. The motel room was clean, but very basic and noisy. Bedding was really nice. The area is spectacular and worth the visit, but not a great place to stay for more than a stopover night.

Stayed in a renovated room in the main lodge for two nights. The room exceeded expectations. The staff were amazing and the food was great at both the restaurant and the pub. It gets very quiet after 11pm, so great for sleeping. One hour absolutely spectacular drive to the Columbia Ice Fields.

The property was just as described, and check-in was easy. The restaurant was nice, and my wife and I enjoyed the tremendous service by a young lady from the French Alps who spent the summer taking care of customers. If you decide to stay, ask the employees how to get to the beach - it's a little bit of a hike down and back, but the views are well worth it!

Location was great. However, the restaurant closed at 7pm. We were forced to buy "remaining food" from the convenience store with very very limited choices! The restaurant should be opened for at least 9pm considering the facility location.

Staff nice quick checkin, sheets very crushed and the base flat sheet was just placed on the mattress so it moved during the night. Shower curtain could do with being replaced. Nice bath towels.

The room is clean but really outdated. The floors and walls are thin. No microwave. Wi-Fi is bad. The heater makes cackling sound. The on-site restaurant closes around 8PM so make sure you plan your dinner accordingly.

I had low expectations for this hotel and was still disappointed. I only booked here out of necessity since there are limited options in the area but room was terrible. Very dirty, mold all over in the shower, they advertised a “kitchen” but only got a mini fridge and coffee maker, no garbage can in the room, missing many of the usual amenities such as a blow drier or microwave, tv didn’t work, the list goes on. For $275 per night this is terribly disappointing
