It was good they gave us free Roam bus tickets to roam around Banff and the room had a lovely leafy aspect towards the forest. However the room was quite dated and cleaning of the room could have been much better. We tried to use the oven one night but it was locked and we needed a maintenance person to unlock it!

The loft rooms are amazing

We booked a loft room and it was excellent. We loved the space in the living area and the open fire. They even had an area where you could chop and collect more firewood for free. We saw lots of deer from our balcony which was really special. The kitchen was well equipped with a huge fridge freezer and everything you could need. The best were comfortable and it was quiet, warm and cosy. The pool was shut but there was still slides and the outdoor hot tub open. The hot tub didn't seemed to be manned and there was a snowball fight between a group of kids in the hot tub and some kids on the balcony nearby so it wasn't quite as relaxed as I'd imagined but it was a lovely area for the peaceful 5 minutes I spent in there before all the kids arrived. The area is beautiful and with free bus passes into Banff we didn't even have to use the car. We got there a couple of hours early to check in and our room was ready, so we were allowed our room earlier which was really lovely and meant we could unload the car and get out and enjoy ourselves sooner so we were very thankful for that. I would definitely want to stay here again if I was ever in Banff and would highly recommend it to anyone. The upgrade to the loft room was truly amazing and the views were beautiful.

The resort was nothing fancy but do have everything anyone staying in Banff would need, the waterpark and outdoor hot tub was a plus. Beds were comfortable enough, again nothing fancy, kitchen was usable but have a few fail, like range hood and one of the stove top does not work, regardless we made due with what’s working remaining, I was able to make a few quick meal. The loft idea was great for my family of 6 with two bath, and we enjoyed the fireplace as well. My only complain is really the service, housekeeping was available daily, but all they do is come in and replace your towels, they do zero cleaning and don’t replace anything else; and despite me telling them many times I have 6 ppl, they always only give us 4 bath towels each day they service our room, I had to walk back to front desk to get extra towels every time. Front desk ladies are always friendly though. Location was great, bus station right across us (if you need it and they have free bus passes), an amazing restaurant “The Prow” right across the street (must try). We had a car and it’s like 5 mins drive to downtown where everything was available, from cafe to restaurants to bubble tea, and grocery stores, excellent location for the price we paid. Parking was quite tight but it’s underground so pretty sweet as we went during winter. Would book again in a heartbeat if I want to stay within a budget.

Never A Bad Time To Be In Banff!

Great place if you have young children, or just want an inexpensive place to stay. Property is certainly showing its age but was comfortable and clean. Water park and indoor play structure help keep the littles entertained on days with poor weather.
