Overlook Inn & Cabins

Unfortunately i have to write this BAD review I was fooled by the online pictures . This place is dirty and rooms smell badly of mold and cigarettes Caretaker is rude not accommodating at all Garbage on the site all over the place and liquor bottles and beer cans discarded all over the property . I felt unsafe and left after the first nite. We had booked for 2 nights and when i told the caretaker of the issues all he said was "YOUR NOT GETTING ANY MONEY BACK !!!" How rude can you get Stay away from this place .There are way better places to stay in Clearwater BC Try the clean friendly places on Dutch lake . This was the worst place ive ever been

Complete and total dump. Very dirty , rooms are completely horrible . Sketchy caretaker. Worst place I’ve ever seen. Many better places to stay in clearwater. This one ……. Please people stay away. It’s a landing for oil works as well. So be prepared to hear the party ever nite. Drug smoking visually seen on premises. Dirty dirty dirty is all I can say.

What a mistake it was booking this dump for a stop over on our way to Jasper. We could not see a sign for Overlook so walked into what we thought was the reception, when I asked the grumpy old man if it was Overlook he said, yes, shut the door it's mosquito season, no welcome or anything! The booking picture did not show the run-down reality of the place, it was horrendous. We booked 2 rooms, one for me and my husband and one for our teenage kids. The kids room was disgusting, there was hairs and other bits in the bed. There was dirty cutlery in the draws, the spoons had just come out of someone's mouth and the glasses were filthy. As for the room itself it absolutely stunk of tobacco. My son has asthma and couldn't sleep in the room so him and his sister ended up sleeping in the car. As for our room, I wouldn't take my socks off and wouldn't get in the bed, luckily we'd taken towels with us so we put them on the bed and slept as best we could on top of the towels in our clothes, I didn't dare to put my head on the pillow without my towel. As soon as 6am came we posted our keys to reception and left. This place should be condemned!

March 2023 I can understand things being older, that is not a reason for a bad review. My bad review is because things were not clean or upkept very well. At first glance things seemed alright but it didn't take long to realize it was not very clean. From the bedding having dirt and who knows what else in the sheets from presumably the last guests, to the floors and heat registers, sink and lights being thick with not only dust but actual dirt as well. The electrical outlet had no cover on it, very dangerous to be open like that. There was a big uneven crack along the floor that was a tripping hazard if you caught yourself on it. All the rooms have an exterior entrance and the snow would melt in the day and drip in to the area in front of the door and then freeze at night, there was no salt or sand put down and it was so icy and dangerous to walk over. The parking in front of the rooms was angled so that we could hardly get parked without being so close to the person beside us that they had to come mention to us they could barely get out. Our room had a bad smell of stale smoke. This place would be good with some work and attention to detail, such as being cleaned thoroughly between guests. I felt it cost more than what it should have for what we got, from what I gather it is mostly pipeline workers staying there long term right now.

I had hoped for a bit more and that the reviews I read online might be a bit outdated, but nope. Rooms still need a little update. Wouldn’t take much, simple things like reverse the way the fridge opened in the bear room… Clean and otherwise comfortable!
