Fantastic stay as our room had a cottage feel with the wood fireplace, post and beam wood and heated tile flooring in entrance and super large bathroom. Staff were amazing with quick check in upon arrival as well they checked in a couple with us over our 3 night stay to ensure everything was as we expected and if we needed anything. Beautiful outdoor hot tub and setting with gas fireplace. Property is super clean, quiet set in trees. We walked to town which is a bit of a walk but felt great getting exercise and fresh air. After checking out all of downtown and walking the bow river trail we took the transit bus back to the door of the buffalo lodge. We ate dinner one night on the property and the food and service was very good.

The Premier Room was so cozy, comfortable beds, great views and having the wood fire on ar the end of the day was the icing on the cake! Pasta night on Mondays was a bonus, the food was so good and lovely surroundings and ambience and the service from the lodge staff was excellent! Thank you for a great stay!

3 night stay in November: Resort was clean and quiet. Staff were friendly. The in room wood burning fire place in the premium suite was to die for. My only complaint was that the room was not cleaned one of the days. The beds were made but nothing else touched. Over all, this resort exceeded my expectations and I would absolutely stay again.

The staff and service were excellent and food was great. The hotel rooms are clean but the walls are thin (older buildings). Fireplaces in the rooms are very cool but the parking and other amenities are not up to par with other hotels in the area.
