It was an amazing wonderful experience!!
Pros:

Beautiful space and friendly staff from checkin to checkout and everyone in between. The distance to centre town was acceptable as we like to hike but also the bus passes came in so handy. We really appreciated those when we went out for supper!! Having a snack bar open late in the day was wonderful too! We ate smoked meat and had a drink watching the olympics in the lounge which was great !!! Very warm and inviting hotel and we hope to be back!! We are hoping to make this a twice a year trip for ourselves!! We enjoyed Banff and the Canalta just made it that much better. Thank you to all that made that happen !!!! Vicki and Mike L

Cons:

The balcony could have been a bit bigger as it was hard to sit out there. We paid for the balcony upgrade but it was probably ok for one person but not two. The lighting in the rooms could have been brighter. The bathroom had very warm lighting. Not good at all for makeup application or any function using the mirror!! The only way to get more lighting
was opening the blinds but you sacrificed privacy for that

Great stay in January!
Pros:

We loved the aesthetic, heated parking garage, free breakfast and amenities. The staff were very friendly and helpful, as well. Our room was comfortable and spacious and decorated with fun details. It’s about a 20 min walk to downtown and in the warmer weather it would be very easy to do. It’s a little far in the sub freezing temps. There is a bus stop right in front of the hotel that allowed skiers easy access to the slopes and others to town if you choose to use it. Though the hot tubs were busy at the times we wanted to use them, they are a nice touch, as well. There’s also a cold plunge and sauna. We would definitely stay here again.

Cons:

Nothing

Fantastic hotel and staff.
Pros:

We absolutely loved this hotel and would definitely come back. The breakfast had everything we needed and though it was often busy (Christmas holidays) we could always find somewhere to sit and we never felt rushed. Our room for a family of four was good and the beds were very comfortable. Our son made use every day of the hot tubs and sauna. There was underground parking which was a definite bonus. Though the hotel was a short walk to the main downtown area we actually thought this was a positive thing. The staff were all very friendly and happy to sort out any of our requests. One of my favourite things was sitting on the sofas by the fire and relaxing on an evening.

Cons:

There was nothing we disliked

Gran experiencia
Pros:

Fue una muy buena decisión quedarnos en Canalta Lodge, todo el personal era amable, la habitación tiene un estilo temático muy agradable, estaba limpia, espaciosa y cuenta con todo lo necesario. Ofrecen servicio de lockers para tu equipamiento, renta de bicicletas y el tour que reservamos hace parada ahí. Ofrecen estacionamiento subterráneo por $19 o gratuito detrás del hotel (pero se llena rápido). El desayuno esta en mi top, era muy variado y rico! Espero volver pronto.
