### Tunnel Mountain Resort

10/10 Excellent

"I was very satisfied with our stay. The kitchen and fireplace (with free firewood) were a must during the winter, and I’m so glad they were able to accommodate our requests. It made our stay super cozy!!! A Big thanks to front desk staff Hannah who was very polite/ always willing to help. The housekeeping team also did an excellent job keeping our room clean and restocking the bathroom essential."

### Otter Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"From check in to check out our experience with Otter Hotel was fantastic. We were greeted with warm smiles and friendliness. My girlfriend was wished a happy birthday and when we got to our room there was a special birthday message for her. The rooftop hot pool was absolutely amazing and the rooftop heated floor was great. Our view was very nice and room was clean. The underground parking has a clearance of 7 feet so my truck fit with no issues and the complimentary bus passes allowed us explore Banff while leaving my vehicle at the hotel. We ate supper at the restaurant attached to the hotel and we were not impressed. Over priced and under delivered, the quantity and flavour did not match the price, in our opinion. There was no gluten friendly menu options and our server was not able to confidently answer questions on what was gluten friendly. Hotel is for sure a 10/10\. Restaurant is a 5/10\. "
