Clean super spacious, two bathrooms, living room fireplace and bedroom fireplce. Huge balcony and an incredible view ;) All amenities very clean and not busy that week at all. Canmore is surrounded by gorgeous nature, and nxt door to Banff. i would suggest a drive, google/map these destinations; from Canmore-GrassiLakes-SprayValleyProvincailPark-Mount EvanThomas-StoneyNakoda casino-Seebe-Exshaw (passing by Grotto canyon trail beautiful) back to Canmore!!!

We enjoyed our stay! Comfy beds, a nice breakfast, and lots of fun in the pool! The waterslide was fast and great entertainment for our three boys. We had a carsick child when we arrived and the staff were so incredibly helpful, providing me with some cleaning rags and supplies. They were friendly and compassionate. It was nice to be able to use laundry facilities as well. Thank you, Pocaterra Inn, for giving our family an affordable and fun pre-christmas getaway!

This hotel seemed to be really nice & decent. The room we were in was beautifully & tastefully decorated. I was really impressed with all the lighting options in the room too. Free fresh cookies in the hotel lobby upon check-in. A pool & a hot tub available. Free hot breakfast buffet included in the morning. However, when I went to the washroom, there was this shockingly cheap one-ply toilet paper, that was so thin, it was like tissue paper & it was see-through (see pic). The toilet paper was very rough & we could see wood chips in it. It was like barn door toilet paper. Whoever orders supplies for this hotel - please do not cheap out on the toilet paper, as that one tiny detail can cheapen the entire experience for your guests. I know you probably think you are saving the hotel

We arrived at the hotel in the morning, we planned to leave our luggage in storage and go for a walk. We were greeted by a smiling and kind reception representative, one of whom speaks Spanish. They were happy to inform us that our room is ready. We received detailed explanations about the hotel and its facilities. The room we got was large, clean, spacious, a small balcony towards the mountain view. The room has two very comfortable large beds. Spacious bathroom. There is air conditioning (we mainly used the cooler). There is a fridge. The hotel has a pool with a water slide, we didn't get to use it. There is a small gym (it wasn't enough for our son so he went to a city gym). There is ample parking, free for hotel guests. Buffet breakfast, a selection of things ranging from

We were happy with our choice to stay at the Pocaterra. Front desk staff were friendly, room was clean and cozy, the pool and got tub area seemed clean and well maintained. My only complaint, and it’s really not a huge deal, was that the blanket on the bed was quite thin and light, and the hair dryer didn’t work too well. Still really enjoyed our stay though!

The hotel was cute and clean! The staff we encountered were friendly and kind, the pool looked nice but we didn’t get a chance to go swimming unfortunately. The hotel buffet was mediocre for the nightly rate. We booked a double queen room with a mountain view, it was at the back of the hotel and was pretty quiet. The only complaints I have are minor, like our door wouldn’t close properly so we had to slam it every time we came in and out of the room. Then the issue we had was with the guest laundry, when I booked the pocaterra part of the reason I booked it is because it advertised guest laundry. When we got back to the hotel I started two loads of laundry (there’s two washers and two dryers) it didn’t seem busy with only one dryer running. However that was only the beginning..

Thanks for your review and valued feedback. I am sorry to hear that you had issues with the dryers in our guest laundry. We have not received any similar complaints, but I do hope that you spoke with our friendly front desk team as I am sure they would have been able to help.

After reading decent reviews I booked three nights in high season for my family. The water slide and pool plus included breakfast were contributing factors for sure. Upon arrival we were kindly greeted and despite being an hour early for check in, got a room right away. The kids were offered a large freezie then too. The standard two Queen room on the main floor was clean and had a laminate floor which was wonderful. No worries about what might have been in the carpet!! Other than some dusty bathroom and bedroom corners, and a deck that needed a sweep(we were ground level so had a cement enclosure- kind of prison like) that had leaves and such needing swept up, the cleanliness was good. Our bathroom fan didn’t work and so the bathroom got very hot and foggy when anyone

Very friendly staff and super efficient check in. We had a nice room with a great view of the mountains for a very reasonable price. The breakfast had lots of fresh options and a plentiful selection. Very busy in the pool area, looks like a great place to stay with kids.

I booked through booking.com and because I booked 3 rooms even though "different policies may apply" but dont state what these policies are, my card was charged for the first night stay and for room. In my opinion this is extremely unprofessional and I should have been given the option rather just charge a card on a hotel that had no booking fee's.

I am sorry that you were not happy hayley20142014. Hotel policy is to charge the first nights room and tax on reservations for 3 rooms and more. I am again sorry if you did not agree with this policy.
