If you're lucky, you will have a great view of the mountain & river from your balcony. The staff are friendly too. Location is just few blocks away from the busy street of banff (stores & all). And you can catch up your bus to Gondola within 10mins walk from this lodge.
Nice mountain & river view from.our Balcony
Anxious at first coz we are advice that the room.does not have A/C. But when night falls, we realized that its not necessary.
