This was a great location as far as trying to find somewhere between Jasper and Banff. The mountains were beautiful right next to the lodge. The Wi-Fi was not good. The restaurant was OK. The location was a little off the beaten track, but the drive was nice.

Beautiful location, I found it interesting that the front desk closed down early and that our keys to the room were left in a mailbox on the wall next to the lobby door, another quest that happened to be walking by told me where to find my room key.

Is a basic motel but room was as described and availability of a store and restaurant onsite was useful. Food and beer at the restaurant was good. Guy was super friendly at checkin but didn’t believe my son’s room was short of a towel when he subsequently went back on his own (though did give him an extra one). Overall good.

We stayed at David Thompson Resort during our Rocky Mountain tour and it was truly a highlight of the trip. The location is stunning, right in the heart of the Rockies, away from the crowds. The room was comfortable and clean, and waking up to that mountain view in the morning made everything feel special. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Overall it was a peaceful and memorable experience and we would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for something a little different on their Rocky Mountain adventure.

The staff was extremely helpful when we first arrived. They went above and beyond to help get us settled in quickly even though we arrived early. The further away from the office the less reliable the wifi was but you are literally in the middle of nowhere there. All in all it was a good stay

We had to check out late, and the staff were very helpful and fast in responding messages! Perfect room with a lot of space and nice view. Note: We couldn’t find a hair dryer and the room only had one garbage bin/bag (these are not big problems during our stay, but worth noting).
