Jasper Hotels - Reviews and Rates

After giving up on Switzer and Wildhorse Provincial Parks (not my kind of camping where you are too close to your neighbour), we breezed into the town of Jasper where we wet our whistle (had two pints of Big Rock Traditional Ale) at the Whistle Stop pub which included a music jam on Sunday afternoons.
