Great views, comfortable space, tight parking

The Tunnel Mountain Resort was a great place to relax and spend the night after a long day’s hike! We really enjoyed the loft structure, with two beds on top and a bedroom on the first floor. It gave our group some separation and space, but there was also a living room for all of us to enjoy together. The check-in process with smooth, with the hotel providing us our perk for being Silver Hotels.com members! There are a lot of amenities, but we didn’t even use many because we were always outside enjoying the lakes and environment. The parking is tight in the lot, with a lot of cars filling up spaces, but it was still doable. The balcony facing the trees and mountains was a nice touch and great way to end the night!

Great Stay

Hotel rooms were clean and looked recently renovated. It has a nice kitchenette with a stove, fridge, and cups/utensils which it is easy to do grocery runs and stock food before day hikes. Staff is friendly as well.

The staff were all friendly and accommodating. Just need to fix the drainage of the bath tub, The drainage seems not working properly, also pls add bigger garbage bins, having 6-7 people the tiny bin is not enough. Also it would be great if you enter the room smells good. But I will still give excellent review because of the staff being hospitable and friendly. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The room was clean and staff was very friendly! The cabin was a bit tight for 5 adults, but we made it work. It was overall a great place to stay and very convenient to downtown Banff.
