Liked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
The only problem I had was I didn't want the coffee they have in the room and most hotels / resorts have coffee for free in there lobby or dinning area. When I went to get coffee from dining she didn't have a top for the take out coffee and of course trying to walk back to room most spilled. Also was charged for coffee...most everyone supplies free coffee especially at those rates....

The location is perfect. Close to Banff without being in the middle of it. View from my room was priceless. I loved the accessibility to the trails. Wildlife sightings were outstanding. The lodge and my room Matched the mountain vibe perfectly. Great staff, top to bottom. Best burger I’ve ever had. Great work team!! Storme
