David Thompson Resort

A cozy place to stay

Pros: A very nice place a little off the beaten path. Decent motel-style accommodation. Cozy, inviting, close to some stunning landscapes. A restaurant, a store and a gas station on-site.

Cons: No microwave in the room.

Beautiful location - Abraham Lake is stunning. Hard working friendly staff.

Pros: Nice motel style room on Cline River, 15mins walk to Abraham Lake. Room had all necessary amenities. Beds were comfortable and bathroom was decent with plenty of hot water. Ate at the one site restaurant which was very busy (Saturday evening on a long public holiday weekend), but staff were clearly working very hard and we got our food a lot quicker than expected.

Cons: The floors were cold - we had a pet friendly room, I don't know if the regular rooms had carpets. There was also a sign in the room saying that if there were pet hairs on the bedspread/duvet that we would be charged $200. I was very paranoid then about my dog as she does like to jump on the furniture. Would have helped to know this before as I would have bought separate bedding/blanket to protect the bed.

Place (and location!) deserves more than just a stopover! Hope to get back one day :-)

Pros: Just a stopover for the night. Sadly. If we´d had more time I would have loved to stay longer! Maybe next time! Oh, and a really good breakfast! Thank you!

A great option when visiting the Icefield Parkway

Pros: We had great communication from the property in advance, as we expected to arrive outside normal hours. We actually made it in good time and received a lovely warm welcome at Reception, the staff seemed very pleased to meet me and greeted me by name, very professional. There’s no hiding the fact that the accommodation is motel quality, but it offered everything it promised and the room was very clean and very comfortable. Service in the Restaurant was very friendly and welcoming and the food was great and delivered swiftly. The views from the room (and around the Resort) were wonderful. Pinto Lake is a very short ride and the views across the water early in the morning were magnificent.

Cons: Like most motels, the windows could use some modesty screening. There seemed to be a few bits of old equipment laying around in some areas which gave these areas an untidy appearance but it was the end of the season so maybe this will be addressed before next year. Service in the Grocery Store was poor - unhelpful and quite rude. This was only one individual, a large, scruffy guy, so maybe we just lucked out. Everyone else we met was charming.

Pros: Good communication from the reception before arrival and the best shower cabin we have met for years.

Cons: The organisation of the restaurant was as taken out of Fawlty Towers.

Adequate

Pros: Nice location Staff accommodating us to move us to ground level Laundry available

Cons: No breakfast provided No ice available Floors cold Mold on walls under sink and counter

Pros: The location was perfect as we were traveling up to Jasper. All of the staff were helpful and friendly. They gave us a history lesson of the area and ideas for hiking locations. There was a little misunderstanding when paying for gas and the gentleman I spoke with was so understanding and helpful.

Cons: The door to our room was temperamental. We had difficulty opening and then closing and locking the door. Other than that things were find.

Nahe am Helikopterflugplatz mit einer schönen Aussicht auf den See.

Pros: Die Aussicht wenn man über den Campingplatz zur Kirche geht, ist phänomenal.

Cons: Restaurant unter der Woche ist nicht so lange geöffnet. Aber für Camper ok

Pros: Zimmer war frisch renoviert. Restaurand in der Anlage vorhanden.

Pros: Es un alojamiento en una zona que no hay mucho más. Cómodo y limpio

Cons: El restaurante cierra muy pronto, a las 19.00
