My husband and I recently stayed at St. Eugene and absolutely loved it. Check in was very smooth and the staff was very nice. Our room was large, spacious, and clean. After spending double the amount for a very small, old hotel in Radium that was a ¼ of the size, this was such a nice change. We loved exploring the property and reading about the history. It is a beautiful place. We enjoyed a trip to the pool as we had just had a long, hot journey on a motorbike to the hotel. The pool water was a bit dirty but it was late in the day on a very hot day and the pool was filled with a lot of people (mainly children) so it was not surprising and not that bad. Upon check in we had asked for recommendations for supper and were told that the prime rib dinner in the ****** was good. It was amazing. A little pricy at $30 a plate, but it also came with a $10 game credit, so the price was actually only $20. Our biggest disappointment (and the reason I have not given 5 stars) was the restaurant at the pro-shop. We had taken a seat and waited for 15 minutes before we even received our drinks - coffee and water. The temperature on the patio was climbing so we decided to move inside where it was a bit cooler. We watched numerous people come in, eat and leave and we didn't even see our waitress. When we asked how much longer, as we wanted to get on the road before the heat got too intense, her response was ”Oh - do you have a tee time?” Finally, after an hour, we told her don't bother. We are leaving. We then found out that our breakfast had not even been started at that point. She knew that we were not happy as when we went to pay for our coffee, she comped it. The A&W was more than happy to make us breakfast and take our money. We definitely will be back but will avoid the pro shop.

I enjoyed our recent stay at St Eugene. The property itself is very attractive, on a golf course about 10 minutes out of town and the site of a former residential school (considerably renovated). We are neither golfers nor ****** goers, but chose this hotel because of the good reviews. We were happy with our rooms which were large and well appointed with a high end coffee machine and a small balcony. My one criticism was that the place itself is labyrinthine and we had a very difficult time finding the swimming pool (poorly marked). Once we finally found it we discovered the pool towels are tiny and thin, certainly not what one would expect. And there are no bath robes so one has to go through the hotel lobby in one's clothes & change in the changing rooms, which is an inconvenience. We ate at the less expensive of the 2 restaurants which is located on the ****** floor. The menu there was very limited and the atmosphere lacking - not recommended. No doubt the other restaurant is much better, but we didn't try it out. Nonetheless we had a good stay at St Eugene and it certainly felt like a holiday being there in beautiful surroundings.
