Clearwater Lodge: Clearwater

Overview
Located at the gateway to Wells Gray Park, the Clearwater Lodge offers modern spacious rooms with queens sized beds.  Rooms come fully equipped with kitchenettes, cable tv, air conditioning and direct dial phones.  All rooms have a balcony or patio.  There is a hot continental breakfast and a restaurant on site.

Thoughts
Under new management the service has greatly improved at the hotel. The continental breakfast was offered on weekends now, which was a big plus. Although the restaurant hours were still a little hard to hit.  There is a large pool, hot tub, sauna and fitness area but these were closed for maintenance during our stay.

The rooms are a nice size but no suites are offered. All rooms have outdoor access to either a balcony or a patio overlooking a large field or direct access to parking.

Price
$90-$120
The price is average for a hotel and probably a good deal as it is the only hotel in Clearwater with an indoor pool.

Pros
Indoor pool, continental breakfast and clean and quiet. The price is good and the service seems 100 times better under the new management.

Cons
Restaurant hours are mainly for prime dinner time leaving you having to find somewhere else to eat most of the time. Pool and hot tub seem to be down a fair bit (3/4 times staying), so not sure if aging parts are keeping it down.
