Hotel Canoe and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Very modern hotel & grand in size. Loved our room very spacious superior queen beds, small kitchenette & large bathroom. Very clean & well appointed. Great views of the mountains. Fantastic Cafe & Restaurant. Gorgeous hot spa pools overlooking the wilderness. Onsite parking both outside & secured inside parking. Highly recommended."

Otter Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful property. Staff was very professional and courteous. Our check-in experience was great. Leon went the extra mile to get our itinerary going. He booked transit passes for our stay, secured dinner reservations at Sky Bistro, and booked our gondola tickets for a great ride to and from our dining option. The rooms have a modern lodge feel, updated finishing and mixed materials give a warm, sophisticated, tranquil, resort feel. The outdoor hot tubs are located in an upper deck terrace with a view of the main street and mountains in the distance. Showers have both adjustable shower head as well as large rain shower head. Wall mounted AC unit is a little small and was able to sufficiently cool the room; however, it might struggle during hotter months. Pillow choices were also all the same which was slightly firm so if you want softer pillows you might have to ask for available options or bring your own if you have a strong preference."

Banff Park Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The remodel is really well done. The rooms are very nice and well appointed. The staff were super nice and very helpful. You could not ask for a better location. The lobby was under construction, but they personally called everyone in our group to inform them. They also sent emails and text messages so that we were aware. I highly recommend this property for you Banff experience."
