Top Downtown District Hotel Reviews

Moose Hotel And Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay with friendly staff. Located perfectly to walk downtown to many of the sites"

Rundle Chalets

10/10 Excellent

"at first, we didn’t think we were going to like it here. The buildings need a little TLC on the outside. But as it turned out, they were sparkling clean on the inside and we had everything we needed. we stayed in chalet number 25. It was super quiet in spite of being somewhat close to the freeway. Plenty of grassy areas to walk our dogs. The people staying here and the people working here were all very friendly and sweet. It’s a very down to earth place. For those who like her medically, sealed windows and sterile hotels this is not the place for you. But if you like funky relaxed settings, this is perfect and also super convenient to both Canmore and Banff. also close to a really great dog park in Canmore.We will definitely look forward tostaying here again!"
