Seriously one of the nicest hotels I've ever stayed in. Exemplary customer service and attention…read morefrom the top down. Staying three nights but they didn't have queen double available all three nights so would have to move to smaller room. Asked manager if there was any way we could stay in our room the whole time because we loved it so much. A few minutes later she called our room and had worked it out. She said she "comped" another customer and our room became available. Another time our keys didn't work and cleaning person saw the situation and insisted on taking our keys to front desk and fixed. I told her I could do this myself but she insisted. All staff so friendly and efficient. Room was spacious and clean and had all the bells and whistles. Shower amazing. A balcony was nice. Attractive art work. Nice restaurant on first floor and excellent strong coffee available. Parking on premises is free and overflow on street also available. Close to many restaurants.

The Crimson Jasper…read more In search of travel opportunities that would take me out of my home near Washington, D.C. so that I could avoid the gross semi-quincentennial spectacle being touted by 47, I looked for travel through the United States and Canada. Amtrak Vacations agent Kevin Guadagnoli did an outstanding job arranging my itinerary, starting with booking me a sleeper from Washington, D.C. to Chicago, then to Seattle, and then to Vancouver, Jasper, and Banff. I arrived at the train station in Jasper, operated by VIA Rail Canada, on July 4, so my timing was perfect. No red, white, and blue blustering - just clean air, beautiful mountains, great food, and lovely people, all who seemed to be at once kind, interesting, and unfailingly courteous. So refreshing to meet nice people. Kevin's choice of the Crimson Jasper was spot on: the hotel is an 8-minute walk from the train station, on clearly marked streets with ample sidewalks that made the trip easy and safe. Upon my arrival (not yet 11 a.m.) I was able to check my backpack and was free to walk around and get a sense of life in Alberta. There were first-rate bistros, a local liquor store, a full-service grocery store, and blue skies abounding, all within walking distance. The hotel was perfect. I was able to check into my room in the early afternoon, and found it to be well-appointed, comfortable, and quiet. The hotel has done away with single-use plastics, in favor of shower-wall-mounted dispensers that were environmentally friendly and easy to use. The bathroom was carefully designed, and was user-friendly even for me, traveling solo at age 70 with just a touch of neuropathy that makes it important that the shower offers grab-bars and such. Check, check, and check. I'd return in a heartbeat. Above and beyond: I had a bit of a meltdown when my transport from Jasper to Banff went south. Brewster Transportation, with whom Kevin had booked my transfer, proved to be really, really hard to work with. My itinerary had me leaving the hotel in Jasper on Monday on an excursion managed by Brewster. The rule in my itinerary was that I had to confirm my intention to travel from Jasper to Banff 48 hours before my booked trip. I started trying to reach Brewster Transportation on Friday, three days before my scheduled departure. When I called their posted number (800-760-6934) I got the response that my call was important and someone would be with me shortly. Not true. No one, not one person, could I reach. I called more than 10 times over the weekend, waiting at some point more than 30 minutes on hold, trying to reach Brewster so that I could confirm my travel and find out when I would be picked up. Three time over the weekend I heard the recording say, "If you would like to receive a callback when an agent is available to speak with you, please press 1". None of these messages were returned, leaving me not knowing whether my passage was confirmed - and worse, I couldn't tell when I would be picked up at the Crimson. My concerns were that I needed to confirm this trip: It was my one-way passage from Jasper to Banff, as well as my chance to see the Columbia icefields (which was part of the passage). If no one would tell me when I could expect to be picked up at the Crimson, I was screwed. And that's pretty much what happened: I tried without success to reach Brewster - due, entirely, to Brewster's failure to let me confirm the trip. I'm not complaining about the driver's refusal to wait - he or she had a job to do, and no one wants to wait for the laggard passenger. But it was wrong for Brewster to make it impossible for me to reach a human at Brewster. It was seriously wrong for Brewster to tell me (through its recording) that there was more than a 10 minute wait and that if I chose to request a callback I would be called back - that was a lie. It was also wrong for Brewster to put all calls on permanent hold over the 4th of July holiday. What happened next was, however, extraordinary, and spoke well of the Crimson and its management and front office staff. Emily and Danni were at the front desk when I learned the Brewster trip left without me. Working together, Emily and Danni went online and found a transfer that would get me to Banff by late afternoon. I couldn't get the benefit of the ice field excursion Kevin had booked for me, but I could at least get to Banff. I am profoundly grateful that Emily and Danni collaborated to figure out how to make this trip work. Well done!

HI Jasper is much newer and modern than HI Lake Louise. While I liked the modern decor and more…read morespace to lounge and roam,  I do find myself missing the cozy atmosphere and comfortable furniture at HI Lake Louise.  We had our own bathroom in out private room and I appreciated the counter space near the sink, which was non-existent at HI Lake Louise. I wish there was an actual sauna room instead of a sauna box. The location was good, as it was only a 5 minute walk away from the downtown Jasper area. It made shopping for groceries and/or dining out at the restaurants very easy. It also has two (Level 2) EV charging ports in case anyone is interested.  It had a small cafe that offers coffee/snacks, which was very convenient when you are hungry but don't want to search for food. Mention about food, the kitchen was very spacious and have everything you'd probably need. We made some Chinese stir fry there with no problem at all. Overall, we were pretty happy with HI Jasper and would recommend it.

We stayed here for 2 nights on the 3rd floor…read more Word of warning that there is no AC which would be fine but the building seems to retain heat and the windows open minimally so it's hard to cool down the rooms overnight. I would suggest avoiding if you're coming during the peak of summer and you don't tolerate heat well. Otherwise, the staff was super nice and helpful. The facilities are very clean. There's a great large kitchen and fridges if you want to cook which I recommend. Other amenities are pool table, washers and dryers, water dispenser. There's a nice cafe that offers fairly inexpensive breakfast/lunch food. Decent amount of parking and a short walk into jasper for groceries or restaurants.

Were suuuuuper helpful during an emergency (screw fell out of my glasses' frame along with lens)…read moreand a quick thinking diy fix. The front staff really took an interest and concern! We also had some scheduling issues with the Canadian 1 train being late, and they were able to accommodate us switching nights around. The first night had a bunk bed room and two showers (the one shower was standing only and about the size of the one on the train (the bonus being it didn't move)) and the second room was two double and a pullout couch and one big shower with deep tub and removable shower head. There is an included continental breakfast that my parents were impressed by, and I thought just ok, but I'm definitely not quibbling after the service!

I purchase the room online with Expedia and it was a very smooth process. Upon check in, the motel…read moreis following all Covid protocols and seemed very clean out front. We had to reserve our hot tub time which was limited to one 1/2 hour slot. During these Covid times that's better than nothing! They do not allow large equipment (skis or snowboards) into the rooms but they do have lockers that are free of charge to use. The parking lot is in the middle of the motel so most of the parking is convenient to the rooms. This motel seemed to be recently renovated as the exterior and interior of the rooms seemed modern and clean lines. The first room we had actually smelled like smoke which was very bothersome. Luckily they had an extra room and we were able to switch rooms to one that did not smell. This is also the only motel in Jasper that offers free breakfast! They breakfast was a simple check list style that you then bring to the cafeteria and they give you a to go box with your food / drinks. The coffee from the cafeteria is the same as the coffee in the rooms (not the best coffee but it does the job). We had a bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich on an English muffin, a slice of banana bread, an apple, and a yogurt. Lots of food and we didn't even take all the things possible for us to take. Overall this motel was a good value for what we paid and I would stay here again! Jasper is small enough that this motel is close to everything in "downtown".
