Lake Louise Inn

Lake Louise Inn

8/10 Good
"NO AIR CONDITIONING! The hotel was great other than the face that this is a "green hotel" meaning there is no air conditioning. I didn't realize this when I booked, or we would have stayed somewhere else. The room was pretty warm during the day and would eventually cool off during the night with the window open. My daughter loved the free put put golf and nightly smores. If you don't mind not having AC or you're going when it is cool outside, I would highly recommend this hotel."
