No hot tub , Sauna had a terrible smell in it. Rooms with woods burning firecrackers are nice but have to collect your own wood. Pool was busy and didn’t really have enough seating if you wanted to hang out there. Limited amenities unless you drive into town. Bus schedules are offered. Don’t plan on having a nap during the day house keeping is very noisy and walls are paper thin.

The condition of the room was excellent. As is my habit I checked to see if the microwave worked, unfortunately the turntable was inoperable. I contacted the front desk and the unit was replaced within 10 minutes by a very pleasant staff member. Looking forward to my next stay!

We had a great stay in the mountain cabin with my toddler and husband. It was great to have a kitchen and a real fire (and free firewood!). We didn’t use the free bus passes but loved that they offered it. It’s not quite walking distance to town (maybe in the summer?) but really close by car.

The cabin is perfect for families with small children! You get to experience nature with the comforts / amenities of a hotel. You will need a car to run errands or grab food as it’s not an easy walk to the town centre.

This is the best place to stay with a large dog! Rooms have lots of extra floor space for them and the full kitchen makes staying in (dogs can’t be left unattended) so much more enjoyable!

Staff is amazing and accommodating, rooms are clean and perfect for a little getaway. Only downside is the pool area isn’t the greatest in Banff. If the pool were heated, I think it would be better, but otherwise absolutely love it here and we’ll be coming back for sure.

We absolutely loved our week long stay at the Tunnel Mountain Resort! Wifi was STRONG - my parter and I work remote and had little to no issues with being on meetings at the same time and getting our work done. The kitchen was small but had most of the essentials you'd need to cook dinner every night. We honestly thought it was funny that we had no idea how beautiful the views were from the resort. I didn't stalk the website photos outside of the ones of the rooms, so the stunning mountain views were a nice little surprise on top of our stay. We brought our dog so the trails being nearby were an added bonus to walk him around. 10/10 recommend visiting, we will for sure be back!!
