Lower Spiral Tunnel Viewpoint

Beautiful lodging in an area where there are mountains all around you. The room was clean and spacious enough for 3 adults in a standard Queen room. The hotel lobby reception staff was wonderful every time we spoke to them (daily). Reception staff offered us suggestions on where to go and what to watch out for. If you request it, they can provide you with bear spray (free) for the day / duration of your stay. Nice pool and hot tub area with a sectioned off bbq patio with tables and chairs. It was clean! The coffee in the room took some getting used to - and not sure we really did - but that was the worst part of it (which I don't consider a deal breaker in any case). They have a gym that I believe is open 24 hours. You can easily walk to shops and restaurants, drug stores, etc. Policeman's Boardwalk is close by, (walking) as is the main downtown area. It's a nice drive to Calgary, Kananaskis, Cochrane, Banff, and it only took us about 2 hours and a little bit to drive to Golden, BC. (that drive has gorgeous scenery). Again, it's right by the mountains - you can't go wrong! Happy we stayed here for our first trip to Alberta. Definitely the right choice. (and everyone seems to be happy in Alberta - they actually smile and say good morning / good night!) Just go! Canmore and Blackstone Mountain Lodge won't disappoint.

Good location and views

Great location, rooms are good only downside is they don't clean your room everyday. There is only 1 hot tub available for all the units which makes it highly inaccessible so please don't even consider it when you are making up your mind for booking this place.
