Stayed here as part of a Contiki tour. This hotel was exactly the type of place you want to stay at in a place like Jasper. It has charm, it really feels like you are in another time with the decor and colour scheme in the room. I really liked the atmosphere here and the rooms were enormous so you can really spread out here.
The only downside to the stay, which considering Contiki is a party tour generally you'd think i would be all for the nightclub scene. However, some days you are just exhausted and since this was month 3 of a 3 month trip, i was beginning to feel the long term exhaustion kick in sometimes. We stayed out until about midnight at the nightclub because there was no way we'd go to sleep anytime before that, with the nightclub being basically under our rooms and the room was vibrating from the nightclub below. If you are on the 3rd level maybe it wouldnt be felt as much but since our rooms were the 2nd floor, we didnt have another room to buffer it. I would say the nightclub would be a friday and saturday, but also on the eve of public holidays as was the case when we were there. The thumping only went until about 2am and eventually we fell asleep, but the 2nd night we stayed there was much more comfortable as there was no nightclub.
It is a really nice place, well worth staying at, but if you are a light sleeper like me, vibration from below can be annoying. Or make sure you stay during the week and you shouldn't have any problems with it at all.
