Banff Park Lodge
Great staff

Moose Hotel And Suites
Small rooms, way overpriced for the experience. Little value to stay there beyond the location and would book an air bnb next time before committing to additional nights at your property. Disappointing room features and felt like a basic holiday inn once you were in the room. I guess I liked my pillow. ...
