Fantastic stay at this hotel! The scenery was beautiful, staff were pleasant and we were even upgraded to an even better suite, upon arrival, without having to ask. Convenient ride to downtown Banff with the bus stop right across the street, as an added bonus. Highly recommend this accomodation to anyone that asks!

Our stay was amazing — honestly one of the best we’ve had in Canada! The fireplace made it super cozy inside our room, and the hot tub was such a nice bonus. Being just 5 minutes from downtown was perfect — close enough to everything.

Disliked: Amenities
The room is very tired inside, needing lots of work. Broken lamps, bathroom amenities so limited. Definitely very skimpy on what they provide. The hot tub was very far from rooms. Not the best set up. Firepit could have been set up in an another area not in the little area for hot tub. There was not any coffee available for guests staying there. Everything had a price on it. For the cost of what this lodge charges we have stayed in rooms with the view but with more provisions. The dinner menu was very limited for anyone who is lactose intolerant as well.

Amazing hotel, a little off the main town which we really enjoyed as the town gets so busy. Short & frequent bus takes you straight in which was free if you had brought other tickets (like the gondola or lakes) otherwise $2 a ride - amazing. Food at the prow was amazing. 5* stay nothing to fault with super friendlu staff.

Very enjoyable stay!

The room was beautiful rustic feel but very updated; loved the bathroom and fireplace in room. We had excellent Mountain View and close ( walking distance) trails right from our room. The bartender Alek was fantastic and made a perfect made to order cocktail. All staff were friendly, courteous and helpful.
