8/10 Good
"The staff was helpful to have called a bellboy for us, as the hotel spans many lots/buildings and there were no elevator to take us to the third floor where we stayed. I believe it was due to undergoing renovation from Jasper Fire in 2024."

"Good property about 30 minutes from Jasper. We stayed in a cabin and it was clean but there were quite a few spider webs above the bathroom and on light fixtures. Overall clean and pleasant. The highway is quite loud as it is right beside the highway."

8/10 Good
"We had struggled to find accommodation in Jasper so when availability appeared for the Lobstick Lodge we grabbed it. It’s a fairly short walk to the main part of Jasper (useful as Parking in Jasper can be a problem). The room was a bit warm when we arrived but it was possible to open windows, which had insect grills on them so that was sorted. All in all it’s an OK place to stay in Jasper with free car parking."

"Perfect for our trip to Jasper NP. Cozy cabin in quiet location with easy check in and out. Staff was friendly and very helpful. Camp store was one of the nicer stores with souvenirs. Laundry facilities were good. Drives to Jasper and Maligne Lake were easy and we enjoyed seeing bighorn sheep each drive."

"5 STARS!! This place is beautiful and you will not be disappointed. Sadly we only stayed one night passing through but wish we could have stayed longer to experience more of the resort. They have so much to offer. We had a giant elk right out our back door the evening we arrived. Be sure to stay a few days and explore the grounds."
