An awesome place to stay. I had a loft room which was huge and amazing. It was a little dated but it was cozy. There were no options for food. There weren’t even vending machines on the property.

I have stayed at this property with friends and family many times over the year's and we generally love this hotel. The rooms are spacious and we love the cozy cabin feel..The negative is the property is starting to feel a little run down..the pool area is not clean at all, and it seems to be getting worse every year.The outdoor hot tub was very low on water. The stairs leading up to the waterslide are caked with dirt and both hot tubs have dirt in piles u can visibly see! The floors also seem very dirty and i doubt this place gets clened properly ever! Its sad because as much as we love the hotel we cant get over how gross that is..plus the games are broken have been for years and maybe a little update wouldnt hurt. This weekend the room i was in Was ok, but the bath tub was caked with idk what and we even had it cleaned after we arrived and it still felt dirty. I am disappointed in the cleanliness of this hotel.

The rooms were very dirty and the hotel is in extremely poor condition, everything is very outdated/rundown. When we got into our room there was towels that looked like they had already been used and the shower was barely functional. The fire alarm also went off at one point early in the night which was very quiet and not easily heard from inside the room. Would not stay here again.

Needs a deep clean. Air conditioner doesn't work and is filthy. Coffee machine is plastic, broken, stained and needs to be thrown out. Room was hot. Fire alarm went off our last night and hallway was full of smoke. Apparently a room uses the fireplace and smoked their room out. Worker was in the hallway and never communicated to any of us what was happening , if it was safe to stay in our rooms, nothing. I realize it's a low star hotel, but it wouldn't kill them to clean, or replace things that don't work, communicate with guests during an incident, give more than 1 bar of soap, and some minor things really. At checkout they didn't even ask about our stay which is why I'm leaving this review. Because they know it's not acceptable and don't want to hear it. I wouldn't recommend giving this place a try.

Easy check-in and check-out. Each unit was provided with 1 parking space, also they gave out Unlimited Bus pass to downtown, though we didn’t use it, it’s really a nice perk for convenient travel to downtown. We rented a 1-bedroom Lodge, it has a kitchen and dining area, we were able to cook and have breakfast there. Only 1.5bath, so all 6 of us needs to use the washroom downstairs to take a shower. 2 Queen size beds upstairs and 1 bedroom with a queen size bed downstairs, enough for the 6 of us to rest after our daytrips in Lake Louise and Jasper. We didn’t really stayed long in the unit, we leave early in the morning and come back late at night, the area is quiet and dark but it still feels safe even driving there at night.

The hotel is outside of Banff, however, travel into Banff is easy and the hotel provides a courtesy bus pass. Every room is allocated parking, The only restaurant nearby is an adjacent hotel - the food is very nice. Douglas Fir is in need of renovations. As a stop over for a day or two to discover Banff and its surroundings it is fine. For a longer stay you may consider a more comfortable hotel.

Needs some serious updating. Sofa stinks with legs broken. Cabinets with missing drawers and doors. Ceiling in the bathroom has a lot of stains. Carpet in the living room has stains. The unit has a very unpleasant smell. Manager said it is perfume. They need to brighten up the unit. Found spiders in the bathroom.
