Beautiful place to stay! Lovely clean rooms, beautiful view, parking and a free breakfast we didn’t realise! Lovely muffins, coffee/tea and porridge. All of which can be had in the communal area looking at the beautiful view. Bluebird cafe over the road if you wanted lunch or anything with 10% on food. So good we stayed 2 nights!! Always a staff member available when needed.

This is not a review of the hotel but our experience of the customer service provided by Rooms at Riversedge Golden prior to arrival, specifically around information given about significant highway closures which can at best be described as selective, at worst deceitful/inaccurate/untruthful. Anybody considering booking this accommodation between September 25 to October 6 should be aware that the main route (highway 1) to/from Golden is closed both ways. The alternate route will add at least 2 hours to your journey to/from Golden. This hotel believes this is an acceptable alternative for guests who they know full well will be visiting several of the attractions in the area, all of which will be inaccessible during this time. The hotel did not inform us of this road closure. Instead we received the below information after we had booked in August: “Thank you once again for booking with us! For those guests travelling eastbound to Golden from Calgary, please be advised that there is construction on the Trans-Canada Highway just outside of Golden. Guests can expect minor delays during the day, up until 10:00pm (MT), at which time the highway closes. The highway remains closed throughout the night until 7:00am, and requires guests to take an alternate route. Should you have any questions or would like additional information we ask you to contact guest services at 250-272-1212.” Nowhere does it state the highway would be closed during our booking period. This information I found out myself the day before our arrival when planning our route. No refund was offered so I feel no choice to leave a negative review due to insufficient communication given to us about the highway closure during our specific planned dates of stay. It would not be asking too much for someone at this accommodation to inform guests who had booked during the period of the highway closure the true facts.

Winston Lodge is in the vicinity of Golden - some 12 klm or so away from the main town. It is a nice drive to get there from the town. We arrived and the lodge was open, but no-one was at reception (around 4pm). Room key was in an envelope with instructions as to where to find our room. We went in and the air conditioning was on and some nice music playing - we thought this is going to be great!. The room was large, bed large and bathroom very spacious. Room was a little dusty, and the TV a bit too small to see well if you wanted to watch a movie from the bed. The room had a small balcony with a nice outlook to the trees but there were so many mosquitos outside we couldn’t use it. We were there for 2 nights and the only time we saw any staff was when we were checking out. The lodge is described as self catering but I could not see any facilities other than a BBQ - there was one table with only 4 chairs - we were lucky that there were very few guests so we were able to use it one night to eat our takeaway meal from town - there were no restaurants nearby. I dont know if there were any facilities available for our use as there was no-one there to explain what was available for our use. The common area looked old and dusty - if you dont want guests please just say your are closed.

We chose this hotel because the places we usually stay in Golden that allow our dog were booked. The hotel is conveniently located right off the highway, but this also means it can be noisy. There is a restaurant attached, which was great for us, as we could pick up food to have in our room (we don't eat inside restaurants due to Covid concerns). The hotel and room were fairly clean, but there was a chunk of something that the vacuum had missed on the floor next to the bed. There were also a LOT of people walking right by our main floor window, which meant we ended up having to sit in the room with the drapes closed in order to have any privacy. I think the rooms in the back of the hotel would be quieter, and rooms on the second floor would be more private. (I'm not sure if the second floor is an option if one is travelling with a pet.) Basically, this hotel was just your average, 2 story, hotel on the side of the highway. It's fine, but the price is high for what you get.

We needed a place to stay to break up our drive. Clean and spacious hotel (motel). Pet friendly. Beautiful views outside the hotel. Great continental breakfast: scrambled eggs, toast (great bread), fruit, yogurt, hash browns (skip the coffee). Overall, we would gladly stay there again.

As a relay station for self-driving Banff Park and Jasper, the hotel is convenient to travel and can be reached from the highway. The room facilities are basically complete. There are Japanese restaurants and supermarkets within five minutes away, making it convenient for meals. Compared with hotels in Calgary, the price is more expensive and the price/performance ratio is slightly worse.

Friendly check in, our room at the corner end. Take a long time to get a hot water. We have to take cold shower
