We had zero hot water, so we could not shower. Very disappointing. I let the staff know when I checked out and they said they would let a manager know and that someone would get back to me about comping some money off our room. It’s been 3 days and I’ve left 3 messages but no return calls. I would definitely stay at this hotel again if management would respond to my messages. But I’ve got no return calls or emails. Very disappointed.

Our stay at Discovery Lodge was fantastic! The location was close to everything in town and only about 40 mins from the rockies, while mere minutes from downtown and the Stanley Hotel. The room was clean and our balcony had a beautiful mountain view. We woke up every morning to watch the sunrise and loved seeing the sunsets as well. A bonus was all the elk and deer we saw at the lake on the property! The room rates were really well priced and worth every penny. We will definitely be coming back here the next time we’re in town.

This property was not bad but we have stayed at similar ones that are better. The cusomter service was not good and parking was a pain. Our room was right under the lobby/breakfast area so we woke up each day to lots of footsteps right above us. The location is good and has a great view. Probably wont stay here again.

It was close to everything. Booking we booked a premium room when we got there they just gave us and updated room not the premium room. They did give us a discount after we brought it up. One of the beds had hair that wasn’t ours on it. For being an updated room there was still stuff that looked dated. The only thing that looked updated was the bathroom. The bathroom didn’t have a vanity. Soaps were mounted like the kind you would see at rest stops. Pillows were thin. The continental breakfast was hardly existent. On the plus side the room stayed warm. The staff was nice even though I don’t believe they all were knowledgeable.
