The hotel lobby and parking is great, the rooms are a little tired; but that’s Banff! High prices and low on quality when compared to Canmore. Overall a convenient and painless stay- I would stay again if there was another deal price available.

It’s just not the same experience anymore - even from last year’s stay. They’ve done away with the coffee in the lobby which was always a nice touch. We brought our 8 lb. non-shedding dog and it is obvious that there are specific pet friendly rooms. The amount of dog hair on the carpet in our room was terrible. We upgraded to a balcony room but could not really use the balcony because it was filthy. I understand it’s early spring, but a useable clean balcony in a “balcony room” would be helpful. Use a cloth and clean the chairs at least. We had to put our dog in the tub and wash her feet after being on the balcony for 2 minutes. Her paws were black. We’ve always loved the Caribou Lodge but unfortunately we will be checking out new places to stay in Banff.
