The rooms were comfy & clean. The hotel itself is a masterful piece of history with it’s 98 year old wooden architecture. Very cool! The whole Welsh thing could be toned down. It’s a little too much. The Staff were mostly young visa workers whom were awkward & not cohesive in their costumes & attention to details & speaking confidently. I overheard one server only talking to 2 very uninterested patrons about how she couldn’t wait to leave & go back to New Zealand. I saw no Senior management present at anytime. With a hotel of this calibre & given it’s incredible history, that the staff should be more seasoned & attentive. Also, the menu was ok. It could be re-vamped to reflect more classics & have more locally sourced ingredients.

Loved that it had an elevator; frank often gave us a ride up to the 4th floor, and helped with our bags. He was so very nice and friendly. Matias was friendly when checking in and out. Also a very nice waitress during breakfast at the restaurant on the right side upon entering .i wish i could remember her name. Everyone was very nice, courteous, and asking about plans we had or offered suggestions. Cannot remember the young mans name that also took us in the elevator. Culry hair with s little moustache. Gave us a history lesson about the elevator as well as Frank. One other wonderful thing was the large updated shower. We were on the 5th floor. I would love to visit again, but a longer stay next time.

The Prince of Wales Hotel’s location is fabulously picturesque which includes the old world charm of the hotel itself. All three dining options offer a spectacular view of Upper Waterton Lake as well as excellent food & service. The grounds contain & allow access to foot paths where you can completely absorb the landscape. The Prince of Wales Hotel offers a door to all that wish to experience the embrace of Mother Nature.

Blake and Mia were especially great Bell Hops. Very service oriented and a lovely old historic hotel. Great views from the Lobby and dining room. Interesting historical 7pm talks by Bell Hops. We had a very relaxing time. Fun scenic boat ride and some nice short hikes and beautiful drives. Also enjoyed the Buffalo Paddock. Waterton is not near as crowded as GNP in Montana!
