We were on the 4. times here, and 3 different species the room learned. This year we even the same room as two years ago, and from the hotel there was a nice surprise in the form of a nice 'welcome back card' and some of the great delicious cookies.

In the living area with sofa, armchair and fireplace, dining table with 4 chairs. Bedroom with two king size beds and tv. Free wi-fi and free car park. … read more

Typical Canadian lodge, lots of wood in the room. Windows a bit small; lighting dim, reading was almost impossible. Definitely a room as they were not premium on the street. The hot tube (outdoor swimming pool) was only lukewarm, not to use. Good breakfast buffet and dinner. The quality of the service depends on the staff (I think: mostly seasonal). About 20 minutes walk to Banff (downhill or uphill back). … read more
