Claresholm Museum Tours and Activities

Amazing place, right near to lake

Stepping into the Prince of Wales Hotel felt like stepping into a time machine, such a beautiful old building, full of character. The staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, each one going out of their way to make you feel comfortable. The elevator was quite the ride (in a fun, old-hotel kind of way), and our room was cozy and warm. One tip: since it's an older hotel, if you're feeling a bit cold, crank up the heater and head out for a walk, it'll be nice and warm by the time you get back. You can also ask for an extra heater or blanket. We had both dinner and breakfast at the hotel, and both were delicious. Add in the lake view, and every meal felt worth savoring. They also host a history talk every evening at 7 PM about Waterton Park and the hotel itself, which was a lovely touch, and there are beautiful walking paths right around the property. It os very close to the falls, hiking paths and the town centre itself and you can see the hotel as you are driving into the town. It also has .ery Instagram worthy places.

The hotel buildings are very dated and need to be renovated. I don't think the room was worth the price. The staff were all really great. Vimy's restaurant was solid. Steak sandwich and salad was very good.
