Good value for lodging near the Icefields Parkway

The DTR is a no frills property that is very clean, updated, and comfortable. It’s a good value and relatively close to the Icefields Parkway. Note that there are few lodging choices in the area that are reasonably priced.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
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!

Good for one or two nights

The hotel is good and a perfect place to stay for maybe one or two nights. There is a restaurant on site but it had closed by the time we got there so it was a few snacks from the small shop next door. The place was very comfortable and clean and completely isolated, a big log cabin in the mountains.
