Hotel Tonquin Inn (Jasper, Canada)

If you're someone who likes hiking then this is definitely the right hotel for you: a selection of Jasper National Park's glorious trails are just a few purposeful strides away from the Tonquin's front door!

If you get the chance to book a room with a view and/or balcony then don't hesitate: the views of the Rocky Mountains from here are like something out of a tourist brochure. Absolutely beautiful.

Is there anything better than winding down in a hot tub after a hike or swimming a few lengths in an indoor pool after a full day on the piste? The hotel's leisure facilities are indeed very welcome in this respect.

Unfortunately, there aren't as many parking spaces at this hotel is you'd expect. Visit at a busy time and there's a fair chance you'll end up parking on a street a few blocks away.

Many guests have been less than impressed by the hotel's in-room A-C units. Complaints vary from loud operational noises to hot air being blown out instead of cold. Definitely something to keep in mind.

You'd better pray you don't get allocated a room next to some noisy neighbors: the walls between the accommodations are thin enough to let you hear pretty much everything your fellow guests get up to!
