Great Stay

We had a great stay at the Royal Canadian Lodge. The staff was welcoming and friendly and the rooms were clean and updated. Parking in the garage was very helpful especially in the winter. The breakfast needs to be improved...I think frozen potatoes were used. The white flour bagels (everything bagel not available) seemed like they were from a grocery store. The bacon/eggs were cooked just right. Not impressed with breakfast...we did not eat lunch or dinner there. Our server Elmer was outstanding! Friendly and professional. Neal/Concierge was also very helpful talking about where to go and see. The front desk person on Wed, Jan 22nd/evening shift was very nice.

The room was very spacious and clean, fireplace was a nice bonus. The hot tub and pool area was amazing. We loved that it has room service - and the food on site was tasty and well priced. We come to Banff a lot and have found a gem with this hotel. Can’t wait to be back.

It was quite nice, would have been great if we could have plugged into the tv or casted our own movies. The hotel has it very locked down. Pool and hot tub area was great, plus the parkade was over 2 m so we fit in a truck.
