Why We Love It

- A five-minute walk from shops and cafes and a 10-minute drive to the Banff Gondola, a glass-enclosed lift giving you 360-degree views of six mountain ranges
- All guests get access to the amenities next door at Banff Park Lodge -- there's an indoor pool, Jacuzzi, steam room, gym and restaurant with large glass windows showcasing mountain views
Overview
Compared to pricier hotels in Banff, this is a great wallet-friendly option for those looking to save money for the slopes or nearby attractions. Although it's an older building, the lodge has plenty of amenities -- there’s a 24-hour concierge, ski and snowboard storage and even same-day dry cleaning. Guests can take advantage of what their sister hotel has to offer as well. Located next door, Banff Park Lodge has an indoor pool, Jacuzzi, steam room, fitness center and two on-site restaurants. Expect to pay for Wi-Fi and heated underground parking located at Banff Park Lodge, which is first-come, first-serve -- above-ground parking is free for all guests.
Rooms are small but clean with private balconies and patios; some showcasing views of the river. Larger Family Rooms have adjoining bedrooms with a shared bathroom, while the expansive River Suite has a rain shower and a sitting area with river views. Guests may find the decor a little dated; most rooms still have older-style televisions -- however, when it comes to Banff, the real show takes place outdoors.
It’s an ideal home base for summer or winter escapes -- with Lake Louise just a 40-minute drive away, it makes sightseeing day trips or ski excursions all the more tempting. Venture beyond Lake Louise to the Icefields Parkway, where you’ll find yourself on “easily one of the most awe-inspiring drives you'll ever encounter” (Frommer’s).

The view from the room of the Bow River and the mountains! The only hotel along the Bow other than the Banff Springs! Central location made for easy access to restaurants etc and the river pathway was right out front. Price was great. Bathroom was clean and newly refreshed ie grout and bathtub/tile.
Other Comments
There was a faint smell of old cigarette smoke as soon as we stepped into the lobby and also in the room. Ashtrays were attached to the outside wall right outside the patio doors!! Although the room was designated non-smoking, this would encourage smoking virtually inside the room. A smoking area should be designated at some distance from the hotel. A practice adhered to in other hotels! The huge picture window needed to be cleaned. An easy fix. I would recommend this accommodation if it were not for the lingering smell of cigarettes. This is unheard of in accommodations today! Other than that, great value for $.

The location was perfect. The ski bus was close by.

The room was very small. It was cramped between the sink and toilet area. The TV was an old tube style. The internet connection was poor. We didn't receive the coupon for the 25% off at the restaurant.

Expensive for what it is. Person working the desk was unhelpful. Parking was located in a different hotel. Very noisy late at night. Beds hard as a rock. Internet for five dollars more.

Basic and clean. Cheaper place to stay in Banff which is like all national parks geared to wealthy people.

Jess and Sean at front desk, they were very apologetic. The location in Banff is great.
Underground parking next door at Banff Park Lodge is very nice.
Other Comments
Impossible to sleep on Friday night because of the rowdy room next door - our Saturday ski day was tough because we were so tired.
The rooms are clean but dated. The TV and lack of channels is very old school.
