Hotel The Crimson Jasper (Jasper, Canada)

It's an easy walk to the main area of town, with dozens of restaurants, pubs, and entertainment options. If you're here for the outdoor aspect, there are several touring companies within easy walking distance. It's also possible to walk to markets, shopping, and even public transportation.

The kitchen areas in the rooms provide convenience with ample cooking and serving ware. The rooms are clean and many have patios or balconies with stunning views.

The onsite restaurant provides good breakfast options and the indoor swimming pool is a nice feature, especially in the cooler weather. There is also onsite free parking.

The rates here are quite expensive, much more than you would pay for a room located on the outside of the park or a bit farther away from town. You're paying mostly for location and not for the luxury features.

The trek to the room can be confusing as the hotel staff just provides a map and a vague point in the direction to your room. Since the complex is large, it can be hard to find and there aren't adequate signs. There is also no help with luggage and the lifts are sparse and inconveniently located. You'll be carting your bags the whole way.

Some of the rooms have skipped on basic features, like an adequate closet. Instead, you'll just get hooks. the kitchenettes don't have proper glass serving ware. Instead, you'll have paper plates and plastic cutlery.
