Review: Sportsman Lodge, Golden

General appearance
The Sportsman Lodge is a Standard motel with two storey buildings and rooms directly accessed from the parking lot or the upper balcony. It smelled a bit strange like hospital from cleaning and we did not get a kitchenette.


Location
The lodge is located one block off the Trans Canada Highway (#1), surrounded by other motels and some dining spots incl. McDonald's. The Kicking Horse Mountain Resort is about 14 km up the hill.


Room
We got a one-room-apartment with two Queen-sized beds, a small bathroom, a fridge and a microwave. As we did not get a kitchenette, we convinced the staff to let us cook in the breakfast room kitchen that was no well equipped. We cooked and ate without pan, forks and other necessities. It was very adventurous and the hardest earned dinner of the whole trip.



Breakfast
According to our Expedia Reservation we should get a continental breakfast. Basically, they offered cereals and toast - so we skipped it and survived on eggs, rolls, jam, cheese and carrots.

Other
Wifi was for free without password. Across from our building was the pool house with indoor pool, water slide and hot tub. We were too lazy and exhausted to walk over.
