The first day we checked in, we saw an elk in the backwood! It's ecstatic for us to see a wildlife animal up close. About the room, we liked the layout of the complementary goods in our room. The mugs were so beautiful I had to buy one at the on-site shop out of many other gorgeous gift items. The bed was comfortable and clean. So was the washroom. We tried the pull-out couch as the second bed and it was quite tricky! But we managed. The room temperature was a bit warm for us. We could have told the office to lower the thermostat, but we chose to open the window instead with no problem. Since this place was half-remote, the on-site restaurant and the included continental breakfast were a bonus for us! You couldn't go wrong with warm greetings from staff every time; a clean, organized, and separate seating section for breakfast-only lodge guests; and a deliciously hot selection of breakfast items to choose from! About the views, there were lots of comments and pictures of the falls and mountains already, I just want to see some flowers because I love flowers. I know I don't expect to see a garden full of blooms in the mountains and lakes area, especially around the time of our visit, but we spot several if not many mountain orchids during our hike there. That's another bonus for us! Overall, in our opinion, the premise may be on a small commercial scale, but it has all the necessities, plus qualities, you would need for your stay. This lodge is worth checking out! We were glad we did!

Pretty expensive in peak season, as the rooms are nothing too special but the location close to the falls is to die for! Also the lodges are so adorable, like separate log cabins with big fire places, and so cozy, like something you would see in the movies! The staff were very friendly, and helpful. This location is pretty far from Jasper townsite though, so just be aware of that when booking. The restaurant is also a bit pricey but the breakfast options were great and the food was good!

We drove the wonderful Icefields Highway from Lake Louise and just as we were getting tired and ready to stop driving we arrived at the Sunwapta Mountain Lodge. Don't expect a luxury hotel-but it's a basic, clean room in a lovely setting. We enjoyed the fireplace in our room. The bed was very comfortable with a cozy comforter. The included breakfast was simple continental selections and adequate. It was a quick walk to the beautiful Sunwapta Falls down the road. It was an easy drive to Jasper.
The staff at the Sunwapta Mountain Lodge was excellent, from the person on the phone in my initial phone call for information to the waitress in the restaurant, the woman running the nice gift shop, the people in the office. We had to cancel our stay here for the last 2 years because of Covid, we're so happy we finally made it there for 2 happy nights.
