Absolutely amazing hotel. It is on the cheaper side, however you get what you pay for, what you pay for here is a lovely and peaceful stay right in the center of Jasper. You'll be a really short walk away from all the shops, every restaurant and even the pool. The restaurant at the Hotel, O'Shaes has delicious food and so many menu choices. There is also a bar at the Hotel, it is sometimes closed do to restrictions. Overall amazing place to stay in Jasper, super convenient and extremely friendly staff. 5 stars.

Historical hotel, super clean, amazing atmosphere of old hotel very good people and management. I see negative comments and i don't understand this people. Yes there no elevator, yes there hunting style lobby, yes there not super big rooms. But this is all point of the experience to have something different , from our room it was beautiful view on mountings, close to amenities, cheapest liquer store in hole town located in the same building in hotel, comfortable bad. If you looking for parking its behind the building literately one step from backdoor of hotel. If you tired of standard hotel try

Absolutely love this hotel, it's charm and comfort, and the very helpful reception staff. My guide book suggested going in just to have a look, but its definitely worth staying. It is probably the most central hotel, with very reasonable prices (the rooms with no bathroom are a bargain), great breakfasts, good coffee... plus two (quiet) bars open in the evenings. The hotel is situated 2minutes from the train station, and they offered to keep my luggage for the 5days I was away in Prince Rupert. Very nice stay, and Jasper was much nicer than Banff, with helpful folk, delicious restaurants and good

Beautiful inside, many gorgeous antiques and a lot of history. The staff were incredibly accommodating and courteous. Location is fabulous. Only 4 stars due to toilet malfunction and small bathroom.

My stay was wonderful- not sure why theres so many whiny complaints. You get what you pay for. Obviously this hotel is not a 5 star, but it has all the basic necessities for a good price. Our room was clean, our beds were clean, the bathroom was spotless (and newly renovated), the parking was free, and the staff were especially helpful. This place had gotten a serious makeover from when the first reviews were posted. The location was also in a great and convenient location in Jasper. I would highly recommend this hotel for anyone who is looking to stay overnight in Jasper.
