"Location of this unit is excellent - between Banff and Canmore. Loved outdoor amenities of grill and fire pit areas. The unit is very clean, well maintained and very well appointed. Can't think of anything we might have needed in the unit that the owner had not thought about providing. Check in and exit were smooth process. Would definitely recommend and would stay there again. Thanks Jeff, for your hospitality!"

Top Banff Hotel Reviews

Banff Park Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"We couldn’t have asked for a more pleasant stay. The staff were most accommodating, the good was excellent at each restaurant. Our only complaint was the hvac unit in our room. It was extremely loud and blew like a hurricane wind in our room! We ended up shutting it off for the peace and comfort. The concierge staff were also most helpful and friendly. The hotel is very comfortable to walk around both inside and outside. The views are breathtaking ! We will cherish our memories of a very fine and perfect stay at this magnificent hotel."

The Fox Hotel and Suites

8/10 Good

"Premium king suite with balcony and mountain view. Room was large and we enjoyed the fireplace. But, the bathroom is small. There were no grab rails in the bathtub. You could not open or close the door while sitting on the toilet. The lighting was horrible too"

Brewster Mountain Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and bathroom very spacious in the king suite. Enjoyed the balcony. Hotel was bit of a maze but they had signs posted to help navigate. Breakfast was included but felt it was just average. Parking spots were tight and felt for the price you paid for the stay that parking should be included."

Moose Hotel And Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay for 6 ngt on Annv vacation. Stayed in king suite. Very roomy, bed comfortable, liked the balcony and fireplace. Room attendant did an amazing job every day!! Only and biggest complaint was terrible cheap coffee in the rooms with no coffee available in lobby either. Had to walk to coffee shop every morning. Thankfully I enjoyed cool air and walk, but always nice to enjoy a cup of coffee relaxing in the hotel room before starting the day!!"

Royal Canadian Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and staff was friendly and helpful. Rooms and bathrooms updated with Canadian Rockies decor."
