The views were amazing, the hot tub was private, and the condo itself was clean and well maintained! The bbq brush was a little rough for wear, but we left a voicemail and a new one was delivered in no time at all! Would definitely come back. Highly recommended!

We would stay there again. The place was very nice for two couples. We were at a wedding at Cornerstone, you couldn’t get much closer. Parking was our only issue, one on site free parking that was extremely tight to get into. Plus street parking that was hard to find.

Nice condo like units for Families
Nice comfortable unit, floor plan was on two floors, ours was on a main floor kitchen with the two bedrooms in the basement. You park right in front of your door so it was great for unloading and loading. However parking is very tight as you park between columns. The unit had a fireplace in living room. Carpets were getting worn and could use a cleaning or update. Overall a good place for families.

Property and rooms was well maintained. Only issue was the upstairs Tv cable was not working. Called property assistance but was not able to resolve the issue. Tim or Chris did try to get the system working with the help of Shaw but still unable to resolve the problem. Not a big issue as the main floor Tv still worked.

Pretty clean and well stocked with extra towels. Plenty of space for a family of 5! We got a main level unit, so the bedrooms are in the basement. However, the bedrooms had walkout glass doors, so it didn't feel like a basement. Parking stalls are very tight and there is no street parking right next to the condo, so fortunately we were there when it was not fully booked. The mountain views were nice, but there is contruction right next door, and there could be a new building that blocks the view in the future. Overall, it was still a very comfortable and affordable stay.

Instructions for check in were emailed, everything went smoothly. We had 2 vehicles so only one could park on-site and one had street parking which was a bit hard to know where it was ok to park. The unit was a ground level with bedrooms in the basement,all bedrooms had walkout patio area. We would stay here again

it is very clean and spacious, the bedrooms are in the basement with walkout patio, and main fl with balcony include gas barbecue griller. the parking is right at the door which save me lot of walking to unload and load my stuff. The only -ve is the parking spot is pretty tight for my passenger van. Everyone of my family including my dog enjoy so much staying here, I am in room 111 by the way.

Upper main bathroom was not very clean (some very noticeable residue on toilet), areas of the property were falling apart (rail missing, closet door broken, kitchen sink cabinet drawer about to fall off, carpet needs replacing as is buckled, etc). However, it suited what we needed and we had a good stay either way.

I like the location, nice and close to town. This is the second time we have stayed here, and we really enjoyed the first time. The first stay was with an upper level 2 bedroom suite. The views were great. This review is in regards to our second stay (October 2020). This time we had a lower level suite. Which was good. Views were not as nice as upper level suite but still good. We spend most of time out so it doesn't matter too much. My main concern this trip was the cleanliness. We had to clean all the dishes by hand before use since they were not clean. I had noted that the dishwasher detergent was empty and assume that the previous occupant just ran the dishwasher with water only. Cleaning dishes by hand is okay, but the cleaners should be checking for soap level for new guests. The carpet also did not look to be vacuumed. The lower level bathroom also did not have a clean floor and the toilet was plugged. I had to plunge the toilet and cleaned the floor myself. The two tvs in the basement bedrooms also did not work properly. Not allowing access to all channels. (maybe this is normal, but the upstairs tv had access to all the channels). Not a big issue for us since we didn't use the bedroom tvs. Also the water tasted very metallic and was undrinkable in my opinion. Maybe this is how Canmore water tastes? We opted to drink and cook with bottled water. Pros: location, amenities, views, size of suite, comfort.

The unit only had one shower out of the two bathrooms. Wasn’t the cleanest we’ve stayed in Canmore. Baseboards had layer of dust, corners of carpet were dirty. The pillows were tiny and not many of them. Parking was difficult with a bigger vehicle. I unfortunately wouldn’t recommend to friends compared to other places in Canmore.

Great double level suite in Canmore. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked with saucepans and utensils which made it easy for us to cook for ourselves. The way the hotel had been set up with COVID meant that we didn't speak to anyone during our stay but I didn't feel like assistance wasn't available if we needed it with phone numbers and emails provided to us.

Large quiet townhouse, short walk from centre.
Wrong access code but easy to call to get a new code. One of the TV controls was not working. Very quiet. Large place with two bedrooms downstairs. Kitchen was generally well supplied except there was no frying pan. There was a selection of coffee (Beamers!) and teas included. Parking might be a bit tight if full due to pillars. Nice access to downtown Canmore on walking trail.

We must share we were not impressed with the cleaning of our unit on our arrival Sunday afternoon. We reached out to Fire Mountain Lodge to inquire on how their cleaning staff is going about cleaning the units etc along with the Covid times we are living in which should mean extra care & cleanliness of our home away from home. We were told that the cleaners take 2 to 2 1/2 hours to clean each unit. Well I can re assure you, we got their early & waited outside & timed how long the cleaner was in our unit to clean - 45 minutes including a smoke break on the parking lot! The 45 minute cleaning job spoke volumes!!! As we stepped in the mat at the front door wasn’t even vacuumed, floors didn’t look swept & we were short bath towels for our family. So I spent some of our family holiday time giving the unit a clean, door handles etc cause I just didn’t get a good feeling from when we walked in. Try reaching out to them to for service to get more towels etc not so easy! As a guest I shouldn’t have to come in & spend some of my family holiday time cleaning before I put my items in place to feel comfortable & safe. To think of all the precautions we should all be taking, personally I think your cleaning staff need a review in this area!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
We thought a one night getaway and a hike in Kananaskis would be a great way to recharge and refresh - bring and cook our own food, safe and easy. The hike was amazing. The experience at Fire Mountain was not. We have stayed here for many years and the property is badly in need of a renewal, and we knew that. Our unit 208 had missing stair spindles, toilet that needed two hands to flush, chips and scuffs and lots of basic run down issues. But it was dirty. And in this environment, nothing could have been worse. Hair on the couch (we put down towels), carpet not vacuumed, kitchen counter smeared, fridge dirty, windows we couldn't see through. A long disappointing list. An apologetic voice on the other end of the phone said we'd be contacted by management - we have not been. Completely understandable that cleaning staff may be unavailable and that things are not as they should be yet. Solution? Don't rent out rooms and make people who are already nervous feel unclean and unsafe. This was bad, and handled badly- by not being handled at all.
