Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi there,
We are off to Alberta in 10 days time and unfortunately it looks like our first stop (Jasper) is rather dry. There is snow forecast, but different sites forecast totally different things so I am not willing to trust that snow will actually fall! So we are looking into Fernie so that we can do a change late this week if snow still hasnt come down in Jasper.
So can anyone recommend me a hotel of good quality? We do not want an apartment since we have an elderly relative who needs hotel facilities.
Many thanks!
Adam

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

Fernie's only a small place really. THere's a Best Western in town which will problanly be OK since it's part of a chain. There are hotels up in resort too. Picka hotel and if I know about it I can tell you more - we rented a house rather than staying in a hotel though

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Park Place Lodge is good, stayed there in 2004. Good size standard rooms, good breakfast and a great bar with lots of local microbrews and food to choose from. Ski bus stops at the door, approx 15 minsto slope on bus.
Hotel is within 10 mins walk of resort centre for eating out/shopping.
Hotel has its own comprehensive web site.

Thanks guys.... Will look at the Park Place Lodge. We had considered the lizard creek lodge as well, but it looks like it really isnt a hotel so isnt really suited to our elderly relative.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Park Place Lodge is more central of the 2 and has a decent enough pub attached although avoid Monday local's night as it will be rammed. Best Western is at the far end of town therefore more isloated for an elderly relative unless they like McDonalds, Tim Hortons & Large supermarkets (plus very nice river walks)

You'll need to Register first of course.

Thanks for the suggestions! I had a look into them but we have been lucky enough that there has been reasonable snowfall in the Jasper area, so we are just going to stick with Marmot and hope that the recent fall makes it good enough!
