Banff Aspen Lodge

We've visited Banff hundreds of times and never noticed this hotel. We've passed it by. That was our loss. This was our first stay there but won't be our last. Despite a mix-up in our reservation, they assured us of a good room. It was more like a suite and quiet. Staff were very pleasant, always smiling and friendly. Breakfast was splendid. I heartily recommend the hotel.

The room was clean and spacious. Signed up for 2 doubles but actually got 1 double & 2 twins. It worked out for us since we had 3 people. The room set up was great. It was bit nosy though since the room was on the street level and the walls are very thin. Nice jacuzzi/spa area. The staff was very friendly and helpful! Only 2 short blocks to downtown. We found parking underground most of the time.

It was good. close to downtown and good price. good breakfast too.

Rooms were very hot, needed to leave door/window open, then very noisy.

We loved our trip to Banff and would stay in this hotel again. They were kind enough to give us room having a balcony with a view, the parking was easy, and it is only about two blocks to the center of town for shopping and dining. We also enjoyed starting the day with the complimentary continental breakfast and the staff gave hints on dining. Staff, overll, is highly courteous and friendly.

Twin Beds? Really, I booked this room for a romantic weekend. I thought worst case scenario was doubles. Apparently I have to watch out for twins, I didnt know there were hobbit sized beds in the real world, but there is and you can find them at the banff aspen lodge.

The hotel provides a clean basic room. Very good value. Rooms were good size as three of us shared the room. Mini fridge in room. The included breakfast buffet turned out to be very nice. They were renovating hot tubs that included an outdoor fireplace. We were there in the summer, but sure looked great for a fall/winter trip. Location was good - walk to downtown. I tend to enjoy a nice resort (which this was not), but for the purpose of our trip this property worked out just fine as we were on the go and off sightseeing. We were very satisfied with our stay. I would stay there again.

We went to Banff to explore the national parks. The stay at this hotel was ok, could have been a little better for the price. The hotel staff was great and their continental breakfast was exceptionally delicious. However, the room itself wasn't that great. The room was pretty shabbily decorated and the bed was uncomfortable. The location was great, only 2 blocks from all the shops and restaurants. Overall, not a bad place to stay but the price could have been a little cheaper.

Banff Aspen Inn was a joy from the time we walked in the door. The sweet young lady at the desk arranged that we could check in early. She then gave us some wonderful advice about the Gondola ride and lunch at the Summit and a tour in the evening to see wildlife. When we returned from lunch and attempted to make reservations for the tour we had touble getting thru on the phone. She insisted that she make the reservations for us and then gave us information. The next morning, we went downstairs for the free breakfast and were treated like royalty by the two girls working in the dining room. It was the best continentail breakfast we had on our trip. The food was fresh and tasty. Also our room was so unusual. It was shaped in a triangle to fit into the corner of the building. Had a wonderful balcony overlooking downtown Banff. The furniture was cute and the bed was comfortable and we had lots of room to relax with free internet. Our only disapointment was that after a full day we did not the energy to use the wonderful outdoor Spa. They even had a fireplace next to the hot tub. A great experience that I would recommend to anyone.
