The room was nice, however some days we'd come back and it was half cleaned with towels left on the ground, and the beds not really made. There was garbage from the previous attendees and some food left in the fridge. Other than that, the location was great and the views were great!

The mountains will always be beautiful! The building itself is quite dated,hence why i choose a lodge for the experience however it could use a revamp of paint and better deep clean. The parking is quite congested we had a truck and it was difficult to finda spotsnd when we did and it was time to leave the truck was hit by someones door...i will try somewhere different next time. Also no complimentary breakfast or even a coffee station...$4.00 at the restaurant for a coffee so i suggest going to a cafe down the main street. .

The shower water was hot with great pressure. Bed was comfortable. You may want to book ahead of time for Spa treatments and if you need an RMT( price is the same for non RMT). Nice property and 10-15 minute walk to downtown Banff.

Balcony view to the mountains was superb! Hot pool was amazing after a long day of hiking and walking, unfortunately the jet button was broken so we didnt get to experience the full effects of the hot pool. We were given a 3 day bus pass free of charge for the area which we used all 3 days! Bus stops were very close to the lodge. Our room was cleaned and beds made each day while we were out sightseeing.

Staff were friendly and helpful. Rundle suite faced Banff Avenue and had an expansive window so you could take in an incredible Mountain View. Great suggestion to upgrade by Clara. Zac also took time to help us find a great room for our adult children. Located a short distance from the main shopping area which made it less congested and noisy I thought.

I would say everything was average or better. No coffee in the lobby should be added instead of having to pay $5(Can) at the restaurant. There was a small coffee pot in the room, but I usually want a larger portion.
