We liked the location and services the property has. No being downtown but walking distance to downtown was a plus for us. The room was OK, but for a "Superior Suite" as they call it, there was nothing Superior to it. Some equipment at the Room was not functioning well and had to be changed.

Overall our stay was comfortable. The staff was very responsive and helpful with all our requests. The lodge anticipated our large group and the sofa beds were turned down for us and made. The kitchenette amenities was well used for the 4 days we stayed. The room and living space was cozy. However, the room could use some sound proofing and perhaps an adequate privacy curtain in our room. The blinds does let some light in and other guests could also see on the edges of the window where the blinds don'tquite cover. When your room is directly in front of the parking lot, it would be nice to have more privacy. Also, one of the sofa bed had a very overused mattress, it was so uncomfortable to sleep on. Overall though it was a good stay and still recommend it to large groups but perhaps not for folks who are sensitive to sound.

Quiet on Tunnel Mountain

Booked a Premier category and were upgraded from queen beds to king - thank you management. Celebrating an anniversary, our stay was short but special. Thank you for the macarons and note. Excellent service at the lodge, room was comfortable, clean and loved the L'Occitane amenities. Breakfast was delicious - french toast amazing!!

Main house was beautiful and the staff were so helpful great—best part of the stay. The rooms are a bit old/not luxurious but bathroom was clean and sizeable. Loved having the kitchenette. And they also allowed us to request a mini fridge which was awesome! Less than 10 min drive or bus ride to downtown.

Relaxing in the log cabin-like central room reminded me of upscale lodges in U.S. national parks. Staff were very friendly, helpful, and concerned with every detail of my stay. I wished I had stayed longer to sample everything on the menu. No matter what you order at The Prow Restaurant, be sure to finish it with the warm apple pie (BC apples, cardamom gelato, toasted almonds). BEST sweet treat ever invented. I asked Karen for the recipe, but it's a secret. I'll be back.

Great location and very friendly staff. Just for enough away from the craziness of downtown Banff. The only problem we had was an issue with the fireplace. Would definitely stay there again.
