Bell 2 Lodge

The pictures can be misleading, so be careful. It looks like there’s a place in the garden where you can make a campfire, but it’s not allowed. It also seems like every room has a fireplace, but you’re not allowed to use it! They say it’s because winter hasn’t started yet—but it’s -2°C outside and snowing. Interestingly, the fireplace in the lobby was on, so I guess winter has arrived there. We didn’t even bother asking about the hot tub, not to ruin our mood further. The room didn’t get warm until midnight. Only half of the room had floor heating, and the carpets were freezing cold. We came all the way from Kitimat to celebrate our birthday there, but we couldn’t keep our promise to our kids about roasting marshmallows. Of course, there were good sides too: cleanliness was fine, the bed sheets were fresh, and everything looked nice—just the table hadn’t been cleaned, but we wiped it ourselves, so it wasn’t a big deal. The room was very new and beautifully designed. The staff were friendly, and the Americano in the lobby was actually better than Starbucks. There’s also a small market in the lobby with most essentials you might need, and the prices are reasonable. The mountain view is stunning, and the snow made it even more magical. With a few small improvements, this place could truly become an excellent resort.

Really spacious, nice looking room in log cabin divided into four rooms, two upstairs and two downstairs. There is a large shower, no bathtub. There's no TV but who needs one with a view like this! Coffee and breakfast was very good. I enjoyed the oxtail ragu bowl as well. I only wish the ran the sauna and jacuzzi in the summer months as well in the evening when it gets chilly. It would be a welcome addition, any time of year for a road weary traveller.

Beautiful location with lovely log chalets. Great wifi. The downside is that they are expensive and don't include breakfast. If you want to enjoy their buffet breakfast it's an additional 27cad per person and only runs from 7-8 am. They have a small cafe with limited options that is only open until 5:30 pm. No fridge or microwave in the room leaves little options for meals - plan ahead. Despite these shortcomings, we would still recommend

We stoped into the Bistro for an early lunch on a Sunday. The BLT was great! Greens were very fresh and aoili was awesome! The burgers great as well, veggies were fresh and buns tasted great. High quality ingredients all around. Service was quick and eating area was very clean. Toilet rooms were clean and staff was very friendly.

This is a review from many years ago (May 2013). I was traveling to Alaska, and I broke down 20 miles south of the lodge. I was lucky to encounter road workers who gave me a ride to the lodge. I spent a few days at the lodge and all I can say is that I am so blessed. My family and I were welcomed as if we were family, treated so well. The food was amazing, the atmosphere was beautiful regardless of the stress I had of not having a car, the staff was amazing and very understanding. When I managed to get my vehicle towed to the lodge, the manager was okay with me leaving it behind to get repair parts, which was almost a month. Long review, but I will never forget this beautiful place and wonderful staff for the help and support myself and my family received. I hope to someday go back and maybe tell this story again in person.
