worst experience
Cons:

A major oversight: the shower water was cold and the flow was weak; I almost caught a cold. The front desk came to check the water temperature while I was using a hairdryer to warm it up. This shouldn't happen in a hotel that claims to be four-star. I hope the hotel can improve this and prevent other guests from experiencing the same thing as me.room118

Great place to stay for a Banff vacation!
Pros:

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! My wife and I stayed there in June. The location was great. Located just as you enter downtown Banff. Near a Roam transit stop. Given passes for the Roam transit for our entire stay. The staff were friendly and helpful. Didn’t have to pay for parking because there was street parking behind the hotel. The room was exactly what we needed. Bathroom was a little small but not a game changer. Breakfast was available every morning. A great hot meal, danishes, pancakes, yogurt, bagels, and more. Saving money on parking and breakfast was a plus for our trip. The S’mores every night were a great way to end the day. The decor was great! I will highly recommend the lodge to anyone. We would stay there again if given the chance to visit Banff again.

A cozy Banff hideaway with thoughtful amenities and a relaxed mountain vibe.
Pros:

The place has a cozy, elevated camping vibe, more glamping than roughing it, with a clean, beautiful setting and thoughtful touches throughout. It was perfect for a quick business trip, but I could easily see it being a great getaway with friends as well. The property features cold plunges, hot tubs, a sauna, and a lovely backyard oasis. We didn't have time to take full advantage of everything, but we did enjoy a happy hour drink in the backyard and wished we could have stayed longer.

Cons:

We have no notes.

Will definitely come back again and again!
Pros:

Especially the Sauna, Hot tub and Cold exposure tub. Made the circuit a few times while we were there.

Cons:

Pricing is a little too high. Also, parking should be included in the cost of the room at all times.

Great stay with very comfortable accommodation and friendly staff
Pros:

We were celebrating my husband's 50th and there were towel swans on our bed and some goodies which was a nice touch. Room was great as were the hot tubs and the extra's such as the smoors and happy hour.

Cons:

There was very limited breakfast choice especially as my husband cannot eat milk. The breakfast is brought in from outside caterer so they also cannot accommodate any special requests.
