Jasper National Park Hotels

In summer, motel and hotel rooms in Jasper National Park are relatively expensive. Most of the motels and lodges are within walking distance of town and have indoor pools and restaurants. Luckily, alternatives to staying in $400-plus hotel rooms do exist. The best of these are the lodges scattered around the edge of town. Open in summer only, each offers a rustic yet distinct style of accommodation in keeping with the theme of staying in a national park. Additionally, many private residences have rooms for rent in summer; three hostels are close to town; and there’s always camping in the good ol’ outdoors.
