We stayed last week - with stunningly affordable winter rate. Easy decision to upgrade to Lakeview rooms and we had good lake view. Room very clean, including bathroom. Bed comfortable. Restaurant meals were great, far better than I expected. Soup at dinner and strawberry jam at breakfast were the unexpected highlights. Service only 4 stars for the many many signs with do and don'ts. The staff in person were very good.

This is my third year running a weekend astrophotography workshop at the Hawood. The venue is fantastic with friendly and helpful staff. The conference and boardrooms are excellent and the setting in such a beautiful and iconic national park made for a truly enjoyable weekend.

The rooms are spectacular and the service is excellent. The first night I ate at the restaurant I hadn’t been pleased but breakfast was lovely. So close to the beach and lovely little shops. 10 out of 10 would recommend for everyone

We stayed at the Delta Marriott Hotel in Edmonton, which was considered "high-end", and the price reflected the expectation. That place was a dump! It was filthy, the staff were self-absorbed, and there were zero perks to staying there. The Hawood Inn was by far the best experience we've had as a family. The inn is clean, the rooms are spacious, the scenery is calming, the food is plentiful, the cleaning staff are beyond amazing, and the registration staff are welcoming. We can't wait to plan our return trip! There's so much to do in Waskesui as a family or as a couple. The golf courses are GORGEOUS! The trails and the beach refreshed our spirits, and after the soul-sucking experience we had in Edmonton, we definitely needed this woodland retreat.

We stayed at Hawood Inn at the end of August, considering the season the price was reasonable. The famous hot tubs were shut down because of the national park order to conserve water. The staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast in the hotel's restaurant was decent. They could have a more diverse menu for breakfast. The room was clean.

We were here on September 17 2025. We ordered a fried chicken burger, hamburger and a chicken pot pie. The soup came as a side and was also delicious. They were excellent! They all seemed to be homemade. And all were smoking hot - temperature wise We had an impeccable server named Shek, who also made wonderful recommendations. We would highly recommend this restaurant.
