Reviews of Deer Lodge (College)

Staff is very nice and fast. The hotel has a nice old vibe. The restaurant is very nice. Rooms are clean and beds are very comfy. Did not have an issue with lack of a/c and tv. There should have been more outlets in the room for charging mobile devices and wifi was a little slow. Overall I had a good experience. Would stay here again.

The food was excellent. Games room has a moldy smell. King room was ok. Proximity to Lake Louise is excellent. Gotta hike.

Grand old log hotel, great location. Food, drinks and waiting staff good. BUT, desperately in need of a complete refurbishment AND very poor standards of cleanliness. Moved from our original room as it was so dusty, dirty and dilapidated, the second room in the 'modern' wing was little better - dust everywhere, floors not vacuumed, toilet seat broken and urine stained, drifts of fluff in the uncarpeted parts of the corridors. No management on site that we could find and had to complain the the groups corporate HQ by email.

Booked this room after staying at the Fairmont since my friend couldn't book us another night there. We paid $300 for the night. We expected a cozy and charming room as advertised, while also understanding the historic significance of the property and that it may lack in modern touches. WELL!! I walked in and I was shocked. I don't think the $300 room I paid for ever made the cut on the Deer Lodge website. It was super dark and dingy. There was one outlet preoccupied by a lamp. No mini fridge, coffee maker or kettle. No bathroom counter space. A mirror behind the door that you cannot see yourself in. It literally had zero comforting qualities. No basic necessities. I feel completely scammed into paying that much for the room my friend and I stayed in. The common areas were cute and had rustic details. Our room completely lacked in that area. Zero personal touches. I do not recommend staying here. Oh and the light in our bathroom was two different tones of bulb??? Not a big deal, just again, zero attention to detail.

Our room was really nice and comfortable, front desk staff was very helpful and accommodating but for the price we paid ($400 a night), I think the hotel can afford updating some of the lobby furniture which looks to be from the 1700s (and not in a good way).

The structure needs renovation, floor on our room was squeaking with every step ( same as the steps on the staircase) and carpets are really old. Staying there makes you feel you are travelling back in time. The staff though is very friendly and accommodating, most especially the ones who run the restaurant.

Well, I feel a little catfished; the photos on the website (bookings.com) did not even come close to what we got. The images are of their newly renovated suites while we were initially placed in the historic portion of the building. The historical part looks like something you would see in a museum, and I would not stay there. Small, dingy, rundown, and frankly looked kind of like a dive. Although the room situation was bad, I upgraded to one of the new suites and was happy, but there was still no tv. The staff at the front desk and throughout the hotel were amazing, and the hot tub was excellent with a fantastic view. The new room, staff and hot tub made up for a bad first impression. In the end, it was a good experience, but I'm only giving it two stars as I feel like there is a significant amount of false advertising.

The rooftop hot tub was great and featured a beautiful view. The restaurant also featured delicious food.

Old. Smelly. Terrible food. Only thing this place has going for it is location.

Run down premises, uncomfortable rooms. We stayed in lodge room, only one electrical outlet in the room, it's located by the side of one of the beds, another bed has no lamp or place where to charge electronics. The room is not equipped with coffee machine, it's available upon request on first come first served basis, but impossible to use because there is no outlet to plug it in near the table where it stands. The room is gloomy and dark. The bathroom is huge, but has no counter space whatsoever. The sink has two separate faucets, cold and hot, and no plug, impossible even to wash hands in warm water, has to be done using either ice cold or scorching hot water. The location is awesome though, and it's the reason for ridiculous price, I guess.
