Everything was good. No major complaints. Easy 4 star rating. A few items to be aware of: 3/4 mile walk to shops/food made returning to the lodge impractical during the day (if you are tired after hiking) - local bus is easy if you don't mind the stops. Priced similar to closer properties. Air conditioning was off in August, so room got hot during day and wasn't cool yet at bedtime.

Convenient location a walkable distance from restaurants and amenities. Our room was on the top floor with a lowered roof that made the space seem even smaller. We’ve stayed here before in a larger suite so would recommend looking for a larger room if available/ affordable.

Banff Caribou Lodge - just okay.

The hotel is pretty old and tired looking. Our room had a musty smell, was supposedly a superior room, can’t imagine what a standard room would have been like. The continental breakfast in The Keg did not have that many options. All staff were very friendly and helpful. Overall, I did not think this hotel was good value for money and would likely try and find an alternative next time we are in Banff.

Beautiful property, but once we got to our room, things went downhill. Room was very hot and no AC. We do have a very small window and a small fan. Extremely disappointed that given the price we paid, we can’t even see the mountains from our room. Bathroom is very small and no exhaust fan, so after taking a shower, it’s very steamy for a while. We were on the 4th floor but felt like we were under a set of stairs… making the small room feel even smaller. I’m just very disappointed given the price we paid to stay here.
Feels a little like Harry Potter… no that’s not an endorsement.

Lovely spa

A one night stay which included a trip to the spa. The spa experience and service was a 10. Our room was not ready to check into until 4pm the same time as our spa appointments. We were allowed to use the parking garage before that which was appreciated. So we did not get to our room until later in the evening. Left little time to enjoy the hotel amenities as we had to check out very early at 6AM. The hotel was clean and no issues. Would have appreciated an early check in time as it is expensive for a 12 hour stay.
