We had an amazing 1 night stay in one of the lodges, an upgrade from the lovely team. Super friendly, efficient and competent staff. Very comfortable lodge with everything you need. One thing i would add is complimentary bottles of water but apart from that it was fabulous. Thank you for making our stay wonderful.

Hot tub!

Great staff. Loaned us umbrellas, delivered a microwave to our room so we could heat up leftovers from the restaurant. Great outdoor hot tub. However, door was extremely hard to pull tight enough to lock, so I informed the front desk about it.

Temika, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Disappointing stay in Banff

Nice setting, a bit out of the center of town. If you happen to have a room facing the mountains, it's a peaceful setting, otherwise you will be facing a road. Check-in staff was very helpful, however, the lobby is only accessible by stairs and when you have heavy luggage, it is a hassle. The service in the bar and restaurant was extremely slow.
Monica, 1-night trip

Liked it all and the hot tub was the icing on the cake. All staff were friendly and professional.

Thomas, 2-night trip

It’s not really a lodge, per se.

When looking at this property online, I see that they call it a lodge, so I expected a large building in which all the guest rooms are in the same building as a huge beautiful great room. This reception area is nice, but the guest rooms are all apartment-style in eight different small outbuildings. Being nearly winter, I wanted the idea of walking out of my room and down to the lobby for a cup of coffee. But I had to get dressed and walk across the property to get there. My room was very nice, clean, and well appointed. Parking was scarce. A couple times I had to park on the street because the parking lot was full. The staff were all very friendly. Some of the photos online, especially a huge great room with fireplaces and deer antlers, I didn’t see one of these rooms at all. Breakfast in the restaurant was decent.
