Everything was great. Proximity to town, happy hour and coffee bar and spacious and clean rooms. Friendly staff. Very family and kid friendly. Only reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is 1 hot tub was down and the sauna was down as well.

Clean, spacious room. Trendy outdoor hot tub area - very beautiful and relaxing but quickly busy during peak hours. Breakfast was excellent with lots of options and a good amount of seating. Enjoyed playing free board games in the lobby with the family. Longish walk to downtown Banff but still walkable, transit is nearby if the walk feels too long. Underground parking was available for $19 and there was free parking in the back but limited and would be hard to find a free spot during busier summer months. Staff was a little nonchalant but were answered my questions when approached and were able to help with an earlier check in which was appreciated! Great hotel overall.

Ski trip

Place is clean, easy to get to, and they do have a garage (can not fit a car larger than 7’- call to double check, but most garages are around that height cap or lower) Complimentary s’mores in the late afternoon was a nice surprise! The hot tub and cold plunge was really great. There’s also a sauna too. Staff is extremely helpful, and very kind. The breakfast wasn’t that great but it’s included and it’s super convenient that you can go in your PJ’s for breakfast. I would stay again It is an about 15-25 minute walk into town (depending how fast you walk) but there is a bus stop right in front of the hotel. The shuttle for the slopes, we are the first to be picked up and first to be dropped off. THAT was amazing

Great

Canalta lodge was a great place to stay for our ski trip to Sunshine. The front desk staff were all very helpful with my questions. The buffet breakfast was pretty good, and they kept everything replenished and clean. The room was clean and comfortable. Our room was right next to the ice machine, so we did have some annoying outside noise occasionally. We really enjoyed the s'mores and hot tubs the first couple nights. But the hot tubs were too crowded the last two nights. I think Canalta is the first stop for the shuttle to Sunshine, so we had our pick of seats. Overall a wonderful stay!
