Poor Service Experience

The service was extremely disappointing and did not match the high price. When we first arrived, we found a wood tick on the bed. To be fair, when we called the front desk, our bed linens were changed immediately, but this situation raised serious concerns about cleanliness. The next morning, the front desk asked if we were checking out, even though we had booked and checked in for two nights, the system only showed one. Lastly, our room was never cleaned during the day. After our first complaint, we were told housekeeping was still working. When we returned that night, the room was still untouched. We had to call again to get it cleaned, which was frustrating after a long day. Overall, the hotel looks great but the lack of basic service and attention to detail made for a very negative experience. We would not recommend staying at the hotel.

A beautiful hotel packed full of history!

A unique property located in a beautiful location a top a hill in Waterton. An absolute beautiful setting and unique hotel. A blast from the past and hasn’t changed much since it was built in the early 1900’s! Definitely worth the trip to see the most spectacular incredible views and hiking is second to none!

Stayed one night but loved the beautiful view. Staff was super nice and very accommodating. Loved the fact they loaned us bear spray while visiting because we did see several bear sightings.

We had a wonderful stay at the Prince of Wales Hotel! The location is absolutely stunning with breathtaking views, and the historic charm of the hotel really added to the experience. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and always happy to help, which made us feel right at home. We also really enjoyed the food — everything we tried was delicious and thoughtfully prepared. The only small disappointment was that the bar closed at 10:00 PM. After a day of exploring, it would’ve been nice to unwind a bit later in the evening with a drink and the incredible view. That said, it didn’t take away from what was otherwise a great visit. We’d absolutely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Waterton!

Better than Banff

We go there for the ambience, this time the lobby area was really cold but it was also the first week of the season. Would really like simpler choices for breakfast all expensive and fancy. We love this place and will continue to come

The main great room/lobby of this old historic hotel is pretty much worth it all. Spectacular views and a comfy relaxing atmosphere. The room itself was meh. But it is historic so that’s part of the deal. The point is to spend your evenings down in the great room that is equipped with many chairs, sofas and tables for reading, playing cards, having a drink and looking out at the amazing scenery. There is a good restaurant right off the lobby and also a really nice bar where you can have lunch, dinner or a snack. There is a snack/gift shop open too 9pm where they will make you a speciality coffee. It’s way in the back of the shop so look for it or ask.
