Hotel Canoe and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"An absolutely fabulous place to stay for those that appreciate a quiet spot in Banff, right next to walking trails in the woods. The hot pools were most enjoyable on the roof level. The room was so enjoyable."

The Fox Hotel and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Our room was clean and spacious. Bed was comfortable and it was great having a mini kitchen and extra closet space. We were near the patio so a bit loud in the evening. Hot pool is wonderful and unique Great having a restaurant on sight good breakfast and great Happy hour. Also nice to have the complimentary roam pass to get to shopping district."

Moose Hotel And Suites

8/10 Good

"The hotel is in a great location with parking. Made walking around town easy and accessible to all restaurants and shops. Rooms are spacious though the first floor inside facing rooms feel a little claustrophobic and not so bright. Would have preferred a higher floor. Some of the staff are amazing and super helpful. While a couple of them seemed a little standoffish. Example- asked for a concierge and the young lady said she was one, but then was unable to answer any basic question about the area, asked her for a map she said she’d have to see if she had one, proceeded to ask her colleague who pulled out a whole stack and gave us one and showed us the entire area.. so you get the point. Some of staff are extremely helpful, while a couple of them not so much. They said we were eligible for an upgrade but then proceeded to not upgrade us as they didn’t have rooms and then asked us for extra money to upgrade us the following day.. which was strange. There was a lovely young lady Jess who served us breakfast and coffee for two mornings. She was always smiling and extremely friendly and nice. However there was another lady working in the restaurant .. who was borderline rude. I had a small cup of yogurt almost finished before I sat down for breakfast.. instead of politely pointing out to leave it outside, she came over to the table from behind me and barked ‘no outside food’. It really was an oversight on my part.. and I felt so insulted I didn’t even finish my breakfast."

Northwinds Hotel Canmore

8/10 Good

"Our room was one of the few that was more updated with laminate instead of carpet. Comfortable beds (medium hardness) The room was very clean. We had a patio door to a back yard but no chairs to sit in. Was more of a dog run I guess. We had a large clump of dog hair outside our patio door which looked like they swept the room and dumped the dust and hair out there. They did not come to empty garbage or give clean towels but a cart was left in the hall for a few hours so maybe it was a help yourself system. Restaurant next door had a good breakfast and it was only a 15 minute walk to downtown. Overall we were happy with our stay"
