We were in Calgary for a week and wanted to drive the Icefields Parkway which meant an overnight stay in Jasper. The hotels available were all remarkably expensive and we settled on the Amethyst Lodge which seemed the best recommended for the price which even so was very high for the class of hotel - we paid UKP125 for a... more

A three night stay during our journey across the Rockies other hotels visited were · Sandman Hotel Calgary · Mount Royal Banff · The Thompson Kamloops · Quality Vancouver The Amethyst is a rather ugly low-level affair just on the edge of town right opposite the railroad & on a busy ( in relative terms – remember this is Canada... more

Do not pay the list price for this hotel or you will be disappointed! We booked via ebookers/travel supermarket and paid £51 per room per night - total bargain!

I have stayed at this hotel a few tiems now and You know for me and my friends this hotel is great in the winter, its not too busy, its affordable, and we can party without much of a problem cause the other people in the hotel have always been around the same age as us. more

This hotel is old and tired and is to be avoided at all cost. It is extremely expensive for what it is. Located across the road from the rail depot sleep is completely out of the question and the trains come and go all night long and are very very noisy. We had no complaints about the staff or food... more

We stayed at the Amethyst July 18th and 19th. We were very, very satisfied. Our room was very large (it was a suite) and very clean. It had air conditioning which we greatly appreciated as the weather was very hot, and two large balconies. We enjoyed the hotel's restaurant (Anthony's). The food was very good and the chef was excellent!!... more
