I had an amazing stay at this hotel with stunning lake views, perfect for my hiking getaway. The staff were humorous and helpful, enhancing the overall atmosphere. While the room was small and quaint and sound traveled easily from neighbors, the charm of this historic hotel and its dining experience made it worthwhile. It was a bit pricey, but the ambiance and location offered great value for money.

Staying at the hotel was a mix of beauty and disappointment. The incredible views of Waterton Lakes are what make it special, but the rooms could definitely use some updates for a better experience. While the staff was friendly and attentive during our stay, the overall service felt a bit disorganized. The dining experience had its highlights, but some meals were hit and miss, especially given the price. If you're after stunning views and a historic feel, it's worth a stay, but be prepared for some inconsistencies.

Staying at the Prince of Wales Hotel was a memorable experience, driven mainly by the historic charm and stunning views. The staff really made us feel welcome, and it was such a nice touch to have evening talks about the hotel's history. However, the old-fashioned rooms felt a bit dated, and the dining experience left something to be desired. Overall, while the location and uniqueness of the hotel are its highlights, the accommodations and dining could use some improvements.
