Fernie Stanford Resort

The hotel was very clean and the room was a decent size for the 4 of us plus a bit of hiking gear. the games room and pool were a hit with our 13yr old and 1.5yr old and made it easy to provide entertainment when most of our trip plans got canceled due to rain. The pool is very clean has change rooms if needed, the waterslide is thrilling enough for a teen and adults but mild enough we could take our toddler down for her first time ever and she adored it. The outdoor hot tub was our favorite way to kill some time in the afternoons as we talked and looked around at the great view. Location was perfect for us as we were close enough to everything but not in a busy area (you do hear the road but that doesn't phase us). We even took nightly and morning walks along the river right behind the hotel and saw beavers. The free breakfast had lots of quick options and I was very happy to see gluten free options for myself after 2 weeks of traveling and having zero gluten free options in other hotels. The Indian restaurant is incredible and we joked that we would travel back for the food alone! We are big fans of curry and have tried many places and this was hands down the best we had had. I had made a mistake when ordering and got myself a non gluten free dish (100% my error as I was tired and forgot to notify them of my allergy) so we got it packed to go for my partner and they had a new one out to us very quickly so I could still eat with my family. The staff were some of the nicest people we have met and I wish I got their names so they could get the recognition they deserve! They interacted so well with our toddler, chatted with us as we waited, and never once made us feel bad about our toddler being a bit wild. Was this the fanciest hotel I've stayed in? Not at all. Will I be back? 100%. It ticked all of our boxes as a traveling family. And it was very affordable compared to other places in Fernie!
