This is a wonderful hotel. I stayed here with my family, including two middle school-aged children. We particularly appreciated the bathroom layout, with the shower and toilet in separate rooms and two sinks, which is quite uncommon in our previous travels and very convenient for multiple people getting ready simultaneously. Additionally, we ordered room service a few times and were very pleased with both the quality of the food and the level of service provided.

Room changes

We had an unfortunate situation, our first room on the 2nd floor was lovely and spacious - but it smelled bad. (Turns out they had done some drain cleaning that resulted in a sewage smell for our room and the room above us) We first told a housekeeper who said she would let the manager know, but after two hours I went to the front desk. The front desk people were so nice and accommodating, and changed our room. However, it left us sitting in our room with our bags for about 90 minutes while they tried to find a room. They finally relocated us to a first floor room on the front of the hotel. It was located right by the front walk so everyone walking by could see in. We had requested a high floor, so this was not really what we wanted, but we had wasted so much time by that point we took the first floor room. I was disappointed they didn't comp us in some way for the inconvenience. However, it is a lovely place and close enough to walk into town.

Dated Lodge hotel

Dark and dated decor throughout. Dining room especially dark with little natural light. Expensive for what it was. But captive audience in Banff, so can set price. Book as far ahead as possible for the town

Stayed in a junior suite. I was very disappointed at the accommodations. The room was a fairly good size but very outdated decor. The room looks like it was done in the 90’s, down to the small jetted tub. Cracked tile in the bathroom. The bath towels were probably the smallest and thinnest towels I have seen in a hotel. For the price paid for the upgraded room I would expect more. Definitely not worth the cost and I would not stay there in the future unless it underwent a major renovation
