Description

Smithers is an alpine town in the heart of British Columbia's Bulkley Valley, where a Swiss-styled main street sits beneath the glaciers of Hudson Bay Mountain. Surrounded by those mountain views, the Prestige Hudson Bay Lodge & Conference Centre, WorldHotels in Smithers, Canada, brings the comforts of home together with the ease of a full-service hotel. The lodge offers a range of guest rooms and suites, including new kitchenette units, around a newly renovated lobby, with a fitness room, a business centre, and convention and meeting facilities for both leisure and corporate guests. Two on-site restaurants, a kitchen and bar and a brewhouse, keep dining easy at the end of the day. It is well placed for the best of Bulkley Valley, minutes from downtown shops and restaurants, historic walking tours, and picturesque hiking trails. Outstanding mountain biking and scenic golfing fill the days for the active, and the Bulkley River is renowned for its steelhead fishing. Whether you're here to ski and hike Hudson Bay Mountain, cast a line in the area's rivers, or gather for a conference, the lodge makes a warm, central base. Let the alpine town and its glacier backdrop take it from there.

"Very disappointing property"
Jeff P, 06 Août 2026

TV didn't work and ZERO functioning Wi-Fi at this hotel. For sure will not stay here again. Restaurant inside was also cash only, so had to go down the road for food. If you don't need WiFi and love laying in a super soft bed that swallows you, this is the place.

"Welcoming"
Brian T, 24 Juillet 2026

i stay at this hotel once a month and have done so now for nearly 5 years the rooms are always spotless clean the staff is always professional, friendly, and accommodating i would absolutely recommend this establishment i wouldnt however subject my worst enemy to the on site restaraunt its terrible do not eat at don cherrys

"Good hotel at good price"
Vickers55, 24 Juin 2026

Nice place. Friendly staff. Good room with comfortable bed. Great view of mountains. Free coffee in lobby.

"Great stay, great food, great people."
MJ G, 13 Mai 2026

We were in Smithers for work and had a great stay at the Prestige Hotel. We requested a quiet room, and the front desk placed us far from the elevator, exactly as asked. Every time we walked through the lobby, the staff were friendly, welcoming, and genuinely seemed to enjoy interacting with guests-it created a really positive atmosphere. Our room looked recently updated and was immaculately clean. The carpet was plush, the bed was cosy, and the pillows felt new. It was a comfortable, quiet space to come back to after long days. We ate at the hotel pub both nights, and the food was tremendous. The service was warm and down-to-earth, and Hani, our server, really elevated the experience with his charm and attentiveness. The whole restaurant team seemed to truly like their jobs, and it showed in how hospitable they were. A clean, quiet, friendly stay with excellent food... exactly what we needed while working in town.

"Not so great"
Tourist797972, 19 Septembre 2025

Floor was dirty I had to lay a towel down on the floor near the bathroom, it looked like something had been dripped all over the floor. The bed was so saggy and I had lifted the covers and moved in before I noticed or I would've asked to change rooms. The drain in the sink was so clogged with crud I couldn't run the water in the sink. Found a couple of black hairs in the bathtub. Thumping above and doors slamming are pretty typical in a hotel but compounded with everything else, I was at my limit. The hotel staff were friendly, I will say that but for $300+ a night Won't be recommending this hotel.

"Nice overnight stay"
Laterisers, 07 Juin 2025

I recently went from Alaska to southern BC and stayed at the Prestige in Smithers. Overall it was a very nice spot to stay the night, I arrived late so the dining was closed, but the front desk was very professional and helpful, the room was clean and well laid out, it was a good value and I liked it was separated from main highway by an access road so it was quieter than hotels closer to the main road. I would not hesitate to stay here in the future.

Owner Response, 07 Juin 2025

"Nice clean hotel"
Linda H, 25 Mai 2025

This is a nice clean hotel in Smithers. All the staff , from the front counter to the cleaning staff were very friendly The rooms are spacious and beds comfortable There are two restaurants attached The only thing noticeable are the upper floors are a bit creaky. I would definitely stay there again

"A nice hotel in a nice place."
DRHCambridge, 06 Octobre 2024

Another nice hotel during our adventure in Canada. A low rise building where some rooms may have a reasonaable view. We overlooked the rear car park. One night here so nothing more than a stop over. Staff friendly and helpful and we had a nice meal here too. Room was comfortable with an excellent bed - again. All 10 of the hotels we stayed in had great beds. I have stayed in a few, suposedly luxury hotels in other countries and the beds have been awful.

"An OK place"
pmarkwick, 23 Septembre 2024

Beds too soft, continental breakfast was pretty well non existent. Dinner in the pub was very good. location was good, just off the highway and very close to stores and restaurants. The day we arrived there was a city wide planned power outage so we could not get into our rooms until after 5pm but the staff handled it very well.

"Average hotel."
Roy F, 16 Septembre 2024

Overpriced hotel for what you get, but I guess if you keep gretting customers why change. I know next time I come to Smithers I will do a little more checking. My room rate increased about 20 to 25% after the initial night stay, booked thru BC Ferry package. This was once the best hotel in Smithers. I am not so sure now. The dining room food could have been much better. Just an average hotel,not more.

"You Will be Happy Here"
59236812997, 18 Août 2024

This is a great hotel if you are planning a stay in Smithers. Our room was large, pleasant, and very comfortable. The room had a kitchenette with microwave, 2 burner stove, coffee maker and fridge. The bathroom was large and there was ample space to hang clothes. The decor throughout the hotel is welcoming and pleasing. The hotel has a pub that serves food as well as a nice restaurant. Value for dollar I would give this hotel a 5 out of 5. There is a large Safeway conveniently located just a few minutes walk across the street should you need any essentials. A 10-minute drive will take you to Lake Kathryn for a refreshing swim.

Owner Response, 18 Août 2024

Thank you for your feedback on your recent stay. Your input helps us improve and provide a better experience for all guests. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!

"Pleasantly surprised"
Ward B, 13 Juillet 2024

Doesn't look like much from the outside, but just fantastic service inside. Staff all attentive and friendly. Room was kept in a great state. Room service was blazing fast and the food of high quality. Gym equipment was a bit limited though- only small critique. Would definitely recommend.

Owner Response, 13 Juillet 2024

Ward, thank you for taking the time to write us a review! I am so glad to hear you had fantastic service; our staff are the best! I will pass along your comments about the gym equipment to management. Thanks again, and we hope to see you again soon!

"Poor service in decent hotel"
Nigel N, 25 Juin 2024

Pleasant hotel. Good room and comfy bed. Restaurant service very slow took over 40 minutes to get breakfast in a non too busy room. Staff disterested and non apologetic. Feeble excuse about being busy and with only one chef. If busy have two chefs!

"Smithers Spot"
realshannonbaker, 12 Janvier 2024

I'm not sure what options are available in Smithers but I was disappointed. Last year I came here for New Years Eve. Had an epic time! There was a live band, dinner and the room was awesome! This year I convinced family and friends to book at the same hotel. I booked the nicest room they had this time. Let me tell you I was disappointed in the cleanliness. There was someone's hair and was looked like hair and nail clippings in the shower. Also there was old food left in the fridge. The shower water also leaked outside the room. I was embarrassed that I convinced so many people to stay there. Next year I want to go back to Smithers but will probably book a cabin.

"Favourite Hotel."
davidsQ9913AJ, 03 Janvier 2024

Have stayed at the Prestige Hudson Bay Lodge around 5 times. It's one of my favourite hotels. Awesome staff, clean, quiet, good food, and in a beautiful town. The pub (Don Cherry's) is great too -- good food.

"Excellent Business Accommodations"
lynnseabrook, 27 Novembre 2023

Excellent customer service & the entire venue gorgeous. Will stay there on all future business travel and will recommend to others. The rates were well priced and economical for personal stay as well.

"Truly Wonderful Stay"
JoAnnSp, 04 Août 2023

We stayed one night enroute to Vancouver in July. What a truly wonderful and pleasant stay. Upon arrival we were met at the front desk by Ananth and Anthony. I cannot say enough nice things about them, they were very professional and helpful. They made us feel welcome and valued as guests and went out of their way to make our stay extra special. I was given a room on the first floor and asked for one on the second floor. They kindly accommodated my request and Ananth retrieved the gift basket that was in the first floor room and brought it to us. There were many wonderful goodies including a hand written card. We certainly never expected this and it was truly appreciated. Our room was very tidy, clean and quiet even though the hotel was quite full. The bed was super comfortable as were the pillows. The bathroom was nicely set up and everything looked new. This was a most wonderful stay and I had one of the best sleeps ever (I generally do not sleep that well at night). Thank you so much Ananth and Anthony. I hope your manager recognizes how hard you work and the awesome professional and caring manner in which you present yourselves and treat your guests. This is a big part for me if I return to a hotel or not and I will definitely stay here again. Thank you again you made our stay wonderful and extra special.

"Great experience"
mallmesj, 01 Juin 2023

This hotel has everything (but a pool). Staff were great, hotel was clean and in a good location. The food was good as well and you have a choice of 200 bars to hang out in after a long day of work. The conference staff worked hard to ensure everyone was taken care of. I'd recommend this hotel for business or personal.

"No good for families."
Brad B, 02 Mai 2023

Nice facilities it should have been a great stay. However the Hotel has a busy bar and the parking lot was noisey with drunks and pigs using the bathroom outdoors until midnight followed by 2 am staggering and shouting in the hallway by drunks returning from bars. Drive farther down the road for a better night's rest and cheaper stay. Additionally they charge $30 a night for single pet, not really what you call pet friendly.

Owner Response, 02 Mai 2023

Dear Brad, Thank you for taking the time to write this review and bringing your concerns to my attention. I am very sorry to hear that it was not a positive experience for you and your family, and that we were not able to meet your expectations during your stay. Your  satisfaction is important to us, and we will be using the feedback you gave us to implement improvements to ensure we offer a better experience for guests in the future. I hope that you will consider staying with us again so that we can have another chance to provide you with a superior experience. Thank you again, Daniela Bork General Manager

"Relocation"
seanF1561, 17 Avril 2023

The hotel was very clean and quiet, the room was large and very comfortable and also very clean. The price was very reasonable, I can't remember the last time I paid that price for a good night's sleep in a hotel.

"Spring Break Ski Vacation with my kids!"
Angela_LeFebvre, 09 Avril 2023

What an incredible experience to stay at the Prestige Resort in Smithers BC. Every year I take my children for a spring vacation to ski at Hudson Bay Mountain. It was my first time staying at the Prestige. We stayed in a suite that had a separate bedroom. The living room and bedroom had stunning views of the mountains. I am a very light sleeper and had no issues sleeping - very quiet! The suite also had a kitchenette that allowed us to cook our own meals. We did dine for a few meals at the Noir Restaurant onsite and the food and service was excellent. I plan to stay here again next year!

"Hauntingly Hilarious Stay at Prestige Hotel Smithers"
Scarlett J, 31 Mars 2023

Looking for a cozy place to rest your head in Smithers? Look no further than the Prestige Hotel! With comfortable rooms and friendly staff, you'll feel right at home. And if you're looking for a little excitement, be sure to ask about their resident ghost who haunts the halls...or maybe it's just a really pale housekeeper, who knows? Either way, it's an experience you won't forget!

"smithers weekend"
cdsuttill, 18 Décembre 2022

Spent weekend here in mid December. Very friendly, clean hotel. Seemed a bit older but has been kept up well. Close to ski hill and all amenities. Would be perfect if pool/hot tub to enjoy after day of skiing.

"Beautiful December Visit"
Elechicken76, 13 Décembre 2022

I was greeted by wonderful, friendly staff upon my arrival to the Prestige in Smithers this month. With a blanket of snow on the ski hill in the distance, the property was well maintained and very clean on the inside. Measures' are still in place from Covid which i know means something to a ton of people. Check in was quick, my room was clean and modern and i love the fact once i am at the hotel there is no reason to leave unless you want to. Great food and beverage options available and vending machines for snacks if thats the way you want to go.

"Fire Alarm"
nick_bergnach, 15 Novembre 2022

We stayed there Friday and Saturday night. Was supposed to stay Sunday but we checked out early. Problem Saturday night with someone pulling a fire alarm. They now have a sports bar on the property, there was a lot of noise in the halls and outside the bar, then the fire alarm , the front desk did step up and do the right thing for us, going forward if I stayed again I would ask to be as far away from bar area if you want a good nights sleep. Maybe they should have a chat with the lease holders of Don Cherry spirts bar and set some ground rules. Usually a good place to stay.

"Best hotel in the Smithers area"
Toutlemonde123, 05 Novembre 2022

I have stayed at the Prestige many time over the last 10 years. Each time the experience has been very positive, notwithstanding the craziness of COVID the last three years. Now that "normal" times are back I once again expect to stay at the Prestige in 2023 while on business in the Buckley Valley and Smithers.

"Good clean hotel!"
Mcpinky, 19 Septembre 2022

We moved here after finding our booked hotel to be very disappointing. The Prestige was very accommodating to our last minute booking and we were much happier here. The hotel is clean, comfortable, and the room was well appointed with nice comfy beds. Service was excellent. No continental breakfast but there is a nice breakfast restaurant on site.

"Avoid the place"
garymail, 23 Août 2022

We checked into the handicap room and found only a bed, dresser, fridge and a single kitchen style chair. No microwave, table or desk. I am not sure how they expect two people to be comfortable in a space like that. Repeated requests to the front desk for more comfortable chairs was ignored. I would not stay there again.

"Great Hotel in Smithers"
Yohann M, 23 Août 2022

Great staff works at the front desk. It was a too busy day. Even though they could accommodate me by providing the very last room they had. Even the front desk staff provided me the equipment i forgot home with a spare one. Restaurant has a great delicious menu.

"Not great for wheelchair but otherwise fantastic place. Clean, comfy, and quiet."
tracydoerksen, 31 Juillet 2022

Rooms were clean. Unfortunately handicapped room is a very long way down a thick carpeted hallway. Very hard to get to. The room itself was ok once in it. The bathroom door opens in so once the wheelchair is in you can't close it which is very unfortunate. View was nice. Staff was friendly. I booked two rooms and wondered why they put us on different floors when once they got there they had adjoining rooms. It was a family of 5. Comfortable beds and quiet place to stay. If you don't have a wheelchair it would have been fantastic.

"Favourite Hotel & Best Place to stay!"
leslie026, 27 Juillet 2022

We loved all your beautiful hanging baskets. Front desk staff were friendly and efficient. Room was absolutely perfect and super clean. Loved the sports pub on site! Breakfast was awesome considering they were short-staffed (something we experienced at the other seven hotels we stayed at on our trip). Although we were a Senior motorcycle group, I noticed you also had a lovely grass area for pet owners with dogs - a nice touch. Also loved your benches out front for some of us smokers. Everything was so thoughtful to make anyone's stay very enjoyable. Thank you! PS Reservation by phone was so easy and the person was very friendly.

"Lovely place to stay! Staff was very friendly and helpful. Food was great and overall the service was fantastic."
judyjohnson553, 26 Juillet 2022

Food was great and the staff were very helpful and informative. The overall experience was great! I would highly recommend the Prestige Hudson Bay Hotel. The grounds were very nice and well kept. Smithers is a very pretty town. Hoping to return in the near future.

"Too Pricey for What We Got"
TravelinFieldGuy, 12 Juillet 2022

Given the price we paid I expected more, but this is just a basic, large motel. The staff did not communicate well and seemed indifferent. Their processes seemed inefficient. There were maintenance issues, like the exit in our wing of the building didn't close. This place is not right downtown near the restaurants but rather about a mile south of town. To be fair, it was clean and met the basic need, but I left wishing the other, better places in town weren't full the night we came through. If you can stay somewhere else, you'll be better off.

"Clean air, Clean Comfortable rooms"
mikebeeney2022, 19 Juin 2022

Front staff and housekeeping do a fabulous job with genuine friendliness! Shout out to the great Pizza Oven and Don Cherries pub and eggcellent Eggs Bennie's at Noir's! This staff works hard and oh yeah the view of Hudson Bay Mountain is spectacular!

"Excellent place to stay."
2vald, 18 Juin 2022

Thank your guys staff for a comforting stay. Will be back in future.

"Very Accomodating"
kmetfielding22, 13 Juin 2022

I booked a room for my parents over the May long weekend. Unfortunately I booked the completely incorrect type of room! Thank goodness for Carlos at the desk and the hardworking housekeepers! They moved my parents the next day to the perfect room and they were very comfortable. Thank you!

"Nothing Special."
BeaversTravelWell, 01 Juin 2022

We booked the one bedroom suite for two nights. The room seemed clean but was well used. The furniture was tired, and walls needed repair and painting. The bed was comfortable. The flooring is the older style laminate, so you could hear every footstep from the room above.

"Great place to stay"
cindytreasure, 21 Mai 2022

Rooms very nice and looked recently renovated. The beds were very comfortable. The check in and out was very quick. The restaurant was very good. The lobby was clean and nicely decorated. Parking was located at the back of the building.

"Nice Hotel"

Excellent stay while on business in the area, traveling back from visiting family the week before. We had a very comfortable stay with excellent internet connectivity and my wife was particularly pleased that the TV channels included a property improvement programming. While the quality and cleanliness of the property and room were excellent, the rate does not include a breakfast.

Food was great. Our room was clean, comfortable, quiet and well equipped, we would stay again. One of the best hotels we have stayed in.

"Unkept room"
jlynnchar, 28 Mars 2022

The garbage cans has not been emptied. The room smelled like someone sprayed a whole can of febreze, the sheets felt gritty and the towels looked used but hung back up. I was very disappointed in this room as I have stayed at this location several times before.

Owner Response, 28 Mars 2022

Thank you so much for taking the time to share and please accept my sincerest apologies for this recent experience. I will be looking into how this could have happened to ensure that it is addressed with the importance it deserves.

"Cancelled stay by hotel"
500Sgill, 14 Décembre 2021

I had terrible service. The hotel cancelled my reservation the week before my stay that was booked directly with the hotel and confirmed with my credit card because they chose to overbook and then push out their customers that were not AAA guests as they called them. There was no other hotels available or air bnbs because of a movie. The hotel should have honoured the reservations booked prior to them overbooking like every other hotel that people where staying in coming for the same event. The prestige was the only one that I am aware of that cancelled their reservations. I also have left over 6 messages for the manager to contact me directly to discuss the situation and coming up to a month later I have yet to hear from them. I am always told they will contact you. A movie comes and goes but many of us are regular customers. You will be the last choice for our stays in the future.

Owner Response, 14 Décembre 2021

Hello, please know that I am so sorry for this unfortunate situation. An error in our booking system caused us to overbook our property due to an existing large group that was already booked with us. It was with great disappointment that we had to reach out to a handful of guests affected by this as soon as it came to our attention. Please know that this is in no way a common situation and we have addressed the internal booking issue that caused it. We are hoping to welcome everyone who was bumped back for a future stay on us as a sincere expression of our apology. I also apologize that you have not heard from myself as I have been adamantly responding to inquiries on this topic as I have received them and this must have fallen through the cracks somehow.

"Canceled reservations"
reid675, 05 Novembre 2021

They canceled my reservation, which was made 3 weeks in advance, 2 days prior to my arrival. Apparently, they had a large group coming in so they bump the "little guy" and leave me scrambling for a hotel. I travel and stay at Best Western branded hotel a lot and this is the worst experience I have ever had.

Owner Response, 05 Novembre 2021

Hello reid675, please accept my sincerest apologies for this unfortunate situation. An error in our booking system caused us to overbook our property due to an existing large group that was already booked with us. It was with great disappointment that we had to reach out to a handful of guests affected by this as soon as it came to our attention. Please know that this is in no way a common situation and we have addressed the internal booking issue that caused it. We are hoping to welcome everyone who was bumped back for a future stay on us as a sincere expression of our apology. If we have your contact email on file you should have already heard from us regarding this offer, if not please feel free to reach out to inquire. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, we are truly sorry for the inconvenience that we caused. Warm Regards, Daniela Bork, Interim General Manager

"Overpriced & Power Out"
trophywest, 17 Octobre 2021

$200 per night and a room worth half that price. Power was out across town though the room held the warmth. The staff was courteous and helpful. Covid regulations were over the top but it's their country.

Owner Response, 17 Octobre 2021

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. I am glad that the staff was courteous and helpful but I am sorry that our stay was affected by the power outage and Covid restrictions. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future for a night of no power outages! Warm Regards, Robyn Yenney, Director of Guest Experience

"Great Room, Location, and Value"
936svv, 30 Septembre 2021

Stayed there on my way through Smithers. Not too far from shops, easy to find, and great dining facilities. The servers were excellent and breakfast at Noir was a real treat and is a must. Rooms are not the newest but definitely no complaints, clean and not smelly. Well maintained and this comes from a germaphobe. Nice mountain view, quiet, and well rested. I would recommend and book here again.

Owner Response, 30 Septembre 2021

Wow! Thanks so much, we really appreciate your comments and are glad that you enjoyed your stay with us!

"250 per NIGHT!!!!!"
judycarlick, 30 Septembre 2021

Hotels that are 3 star should not be charging 250 per night for a small room with one bed in it. All the locals in the area keep this place going so why not have reasonable rates. I paid 250 in a 6 star in Vancouver that had a pool, 3 restaurants, a casino, and bell service. It doesn't add up in this hotel to charge that much.

Owner Response, 30 Septembre 2021

Thanks for your review, Judy. Our rates are based upon the regional rates being offered and do vary by season. There are only a few suites in the hotel at the $250 rate. You may have been charged a $250 fully refundable pre-auth as a deposit on the room. Calling us direct to book also guarantees the lowest rate and we will match any online price. The hotel will be adding a complete pool/fitness center/spa complex in the near future. We would love to have the opportunity to provide you with the Prestige experience in the future.

"Over Priced"
Jim B, 27 Septembre 2021

Would not recommend, old over used hotel. No breakfast, not even coffee. They have tried to renovate, but the cost per night puts this place way out of reasonable. Smithers is very expensive. Find another location!

Owner Response, 27 Septembre 2021

Hi Jim, I am sorry that your stay with us did not meet your expectations. We are in the process of doing significant improvements. Covid has certainly made some things difficult, particularly in the food and beverage area. We hope that you might reconsider if you come this way again.

"Happy camper"
0aif59yqvr, 09 Septembre 2021

We enjoyed our stay at Prestige in Smithers. I was there on business but brought family with me and found the hotel to be warm, friendly, pleasant , clean and exceeding of our expectations. I would not hesitate to book at this hotel again should circumstances bring me to Smithers BC again.

"Awful Customer service"
btbrooks714, 28 Août 2021

I feel I was overcharged for a two night accommodation, I was misinformed of the hours of Don Cherry's Grill and we were turned away before they were even closed for the night. The next day at dinner hour, the waitress needs to visit her friends on her own time, because I waited far to long because she was talking with another female at a table and had her back turned and it wasn't till her friend seen me and pointed at me that I was waiting to be served. I will Never stay at this over priced hotel again.

Owner Response, 28 Août 2021

I am very sorry to hear of your disappointments while staying at the lodge. The food and beverage area of the operations has been under significant strain due to covid and staff shortages. We remain committed to excellent service. Thanks for your review and we will endeavor to make improvements in the area you pointed out. The rates at our hotel are commensurate with the regional hotel rates relative to the amenities we offer.

"Enjoyed my stay"
Elechicken76, 23 Août 2021

Rachel at the front desk is super pleasant and professional. She is knowledgeable and the front desk runs smoothly in my experience. Quick check in, clean modern rooms and having a place to eat and have a beverage on site is great. Backdrop of the ski hill is a great view.

"Looks better than it is"
klanz840918, 15 Août 2021

Disappointed when we pulled up. Run down and the lobby felt very unwelcoming. First room assigned was across from the pub. Was quickly changed when requested. Initially was told they were completely booked but this was not apparent as the evening went on. Sleep was ok the rooms were ok but certainly not as advertised.

"Don't eat here"
Tintina2020, 04 Août 2021

Just received my third lousy meal in the restaurant. This hotel was recommended by my company as a place to stay but they later clarified it that they recommended it because it was close. We used to laugh about the lumpy comforters and endless lobby renovations but I've had enough. After a long hard day at work I don't feel like paying high prices for inedible food. This 3rd meal was an all-time low, with multiple issues, and now I get to go to sleep hungry. Checking out in the morning. Not coming back.

"Fine but overpriced"
AndrewD1616, 03 Août 2021

We booked here last minute, so that may have been some of the confusion. But we were put into a room that was already occupied. And then they obviously switched us, but to another occupied room! After that we got sorted out and the hotel was fine. Nice beds, clean, etc. But it was the most expensive place in town and not worth the close to $200 a night.

"Good place to stay in Smithers"
JoaLarson, 19 Juillet 2021

Beds were comfy. Staff was friendly. Everything was very clean. Room a little dark, and bathroom was small, but was fine for a few nights. About a 15 minute walk to downtown, which was convenient. Restaurant hours and options still don't seem to be up and running full speed out of the pandemic, so we are in town where there are some lovely restaurants.

"Great place to stay"
kayle2021, 19 Avril 2021

I've stayed a number of times at the Prestige. It has always been clean (ignore the current lobby renos), friendly and convenient. I recommend to anyone looking for quality accommodations in Smithers.

Owner Response, 19 Avril 2021

Hello Kayle! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. We are always happy to see our regular guests walk through our doors! I hope you have a lovely time enjoying the awesome weather we have been having lately! Rachel Chitty Guest Services Manager

"Great rooms, great service all around"
Elechicken76, 08 Mars 2021

During my last visit I was exceptionally pleased by the warm atmosphere and constant commitment by this location to improve and always provide great service. The lovely folks at the front desk and wonderful servers at the on site restaurant always aim to please. Polite, professional and I really like they take the time to remember peoples names who frequent here often. My last visit was Monday, February 8th and all staff were exceptional. I make a point to ensure I can always stay here when I have a night to stay in Smithers. The view of the ski hill from the parking lot is like a postcard.

Owner Response, 08 Mars 2021

"Good hotel"
RoadtrippingGirl2014, 17 Septembre 2020

Stayed one night while working in the area. Room was clean and staff were friendly. Good COVID protocols. I was on the ground floor and it was a bit noisy from the floor above. Would recommend staying on the top floor.

Owner Response, 17 Septembre 2020

Thank you again for taking the time to let us know how we did. We take our COVID-19 Protocols very seriously, as it is our first priority to make sure our guests and staff are safe! We hope you have a great day! Rachel Chitty Guest Services manager

"Great Hotel in an Amazing Location!!!"
Gorddarchuk, 13 Septembre 2020

Stayed at this amazing property which was very Covid compliant. The staff were friendly and the housekeeping personnel very accommodating. I would definitely pick this as my place to stay next time I am back in Smithers British Columbia

Owner Response, 13 Septembre 2020

Mr. Gorddarchuk, we're happy you found our staff to be so supportive during your experience here at Prestige Hudson Bay Lodge. We always strive to give the best customer service possible, and I will pass it along to our staff that you were so happy with their work. See you next time you are in Smithers! Rachel Chitty Guest Services Manager

"Bad service"
Skiingprincess, 14 Février 2020

Had a bad welcome from unfriendly ladies at the front desk. Expensive for such an ugly room in a hotel located pretty far from the mainstreet on the way out of town. I do not recomend this hotel to anybody.

Owner Response, 14 Février 2020

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We deeply regret that we did not meet your expectations and offer you the usual high standard of experience we strive for. We greatly appreciate your insight and will use your comments to evaluate room for improvement in those areas. We hope to to welcome you back to our hotel the next time you are in Smithers.
