What guests think

At Pocaterra Inn & Waterslide, many guests praise the friendly staff, family‑friendly pool with a fast waterslide, and spacious rooms with fireplaces or mountain views, plus a convenient location and free hot breakfast that add strong value for Canmore stays.

However, recurring drawbacks include crowding at the pool and breakfast, noise from hallways or nearby facilities, and intermittent maintenance or amenity issues such as hot tub or sauna problems, occasional hot‑water or elevator glitches, and weak Wi‑Fi. Cleanliness is often praised, though several reviews report dusty fixtures, hair on linens, or pool hygiene and strong chemicals. Overall, expect a value‑focused, family‑friendly stay with lively facilities rather than a quiet, upscale retreat.

Lots of choices for breakfast which is included and runs from 7-10 am. We traveled with a little dog and they have bowls and bedding for your pet if you forget. Staff are all super friendly and helpful. The pool and hot tub are a decent size with the waterslide for the kids! A sauna and gym are also available.

The staff were amazing and the rooms and beds were comfortable. The elevator didn’t work about 20% of the time… Breakfast was so busy, both days that there wasn’t enough seating for everyone there. The pool was a lot of fun but the chemicals were really strong and the kids had rashes on day 2. The water slide is crazy fast. A few of the families we met complained about their rooms having issues which makes me hesitant to book again. Overall the pool is what made the stay memorable for the kids.

Overall a great property and stay. The only major complaint is that the doors to access the building are not handicapped accessible, there is no button to open the doors (or automatic sliding doors as many hotels have). Also very inconvenient to get in/out with luggage due to this.

The room was showing its age but clean overall. Limited parking - if there isn't a spot you have to take your chances and park in the limited hours parking on street. Laundry facilities took forever for the dryer specifically. Pool area great for kids but not relaxing for adults. Both vending machines were out of order during our stay. Water refill station lobby would be a great addition as well as adult only hours for pool.

The room felt neglected. There was baseboards missing in the room and a lot of scuffs on the wall/cabinets. The breakfast was poorly put together, running out of food and when asked if a table could get wiped down because it was dirty the staff handed us a cloth to do it ourselves. The pool was cloudy and there were band aids on the pool deck for multiple days that would suggest it had not been cleaned. This was not my first stay there, but it is definitely my last.

Room was dirty. There were significant “dust bunnies” under the bed frame. Front counter staff said that should have been swept. Hair on pillow cases and bed sheets. Did not appear that sheets were changed. Housekeeping was asked to return at a later time to clean the room, they never came back. Luckily they had another room we could check into after our first night. Breakfast offerings were subpar. They had cereals and self make oatmeal. Scrambled eggs were quiche texture and lacked taste. There was rotation of bacon or sausage. Only bacon was edible. They also had stale premade waffles. Pool water seemed saturated with chlorine. Every one of us had very itchy and dry skin after using the pool. My kids had rashes which went away after essentially bathing them in lotion. Asked the manager to follow up with us concerning the experience and it has been 2 weeks without any call/email. Seems they do not care.

I booked this hotel through Expedia yesterday. When we checked in, we were given a “standard room,” but we quickly found out there was no air conditioning and the fridge was broken. We asked the front desk, and they told us this was “normal” — if we wanted AC and a working fridge, we had to pay extra to upgrade. It was extremely stuffy, and we had no choice but to pay for the upgrade. This was very disappointing and felt misleading. If you’re booking this hotel, call first to confirm whether your room actually has air conditioning and a working fridge. If I could give zero stars, I absolutely would.

Ask for a room far away from the elevator. It was honestly one of the loudest rooms we’ve ever stayed in. Thank goodness we had earplugs. It did quiet down after the pool closed, but the noise fired up again early in the morning when the breakfast room opened. Room was very clean and staff were lovely.

Great hotel! Free breakfast is very good, pool and waterslide are a huge hit with our young son, and the rooms are clean, quiet, and comfy. Staff is very helpful and friendly. Parking is easy and on site, even with a roof top ski box. My only complaints are that the wifi is very, very weak, and the duvet is not in a duvet cover, it’s just tucked in between a couple of sheets, which easily get tousled apart during the night.

We’ll definitely be recommending this place to our family and friends.

When in Canmore you are not here to stay inside. This hotel met all of our needs and the staff (Anna) was amazing in helping us navigate the area. The Legacy trail was across the street leading to Banff. A great bike rental was next door. Benjamin helped arrange bikes and info for our ride to Banff. Tim Hortons and Wendy’s next door. 15 minute walk to Canmore town center on a trail. Also, the free breakfast provided was amazing. Thank you POCATERRA for a great Canmore experience!

This place was ok….there is construction going on across the street so the view was a giant crane. Fast food places beside so that’s convenient. Short distance to town with shops and restaurants which would be walkable. Short distance to the highway. Lots of kids and the noice from unit above could be heard ie sliding chairs. We went for breakfast on our first day and every table was full so we left and went to McDonald’s. Overall it was fine for a place to stay to lay your head. The room wasn’t in great condition but it was clean. Would not stay again

Pleasant stay close to Banff with waterslide pool and fair breakfast inclusive that is worth before hoping out in the morning, spacious rooms and clean. Tims, Wendys and McD are next doors, other dine in options are walkable about 1Km . Cons: A bit to walk down from bus stop point (especially if you are carrying a baggage), else walkable. Cutleries and kettle could be kept already in the suites, provided there is a microwave (but they were provided on request, so just a suggestion).

Room great, building great, absolutely lovely. … hot breakfast was so-so (bacon, sausages, eggs good… but soggy waffles and home fries). the killer, the thing that would prevent me from staying again… hot water. That is pretty fundamental in century 21. Are they trying to save on the gas bill, hiring a bad plumber?

This is our 3rd time staying at this hotel. The first 2 times we had a pleasant experience thus why we chose to stay here again this year. However this year we were quite disappointed with the quality & quantity of breakfast food. There are less choices & the food were either under cooked or over cooked. Front desk staff wasn’t so friendly either. They didn’t give us any instruction after we checked in like how to get to our room or pool & breakfast information. The beds were not that comfortable either so we ended up checking out a day earlier than we booked. Glady we were given a refund for the 1 day. Sorry to say next time we go to Canmore we won’t be returning here to stay.

The good: Check in was quick and efficient, the king bed was very comfortable and the room was quiet. The not so good: room cleanliness left much to be desired. Hard surfaces were ok but every grill was coated with dust including the fireplace which did not work. There was an exhaust smell coming from the hallway which had higher air pressure than the room thus constantly pushing air in around the door. Breakfast choices were very limited especially for healthy options. Actually went out for breakfast on the second day. The staff in the breakfast room were obviously not happy with their job. Water pressure was very weak as it took 15 minutes to fill the jacuzzi tub passed the jets.
