Really nice hotel. Little out of town but there is a convenient bus available if you don't want to walk. Cosy clean rooms with everything you need. Would be nice in winter when you could have a fire! Staff at the hotel really helpful, restaurant and bar great! We got a fairly reasonable price, but I do think some of the top prices are too high in comparison to other accommodation we have stayed in. Little too expensive!

Mountaineer Lodge rooms are spacious and well-equipped with microwave and mini-fridge in rooms, large clawfoot tubs, good quality linens and towels. Any requests were filled promptly and delivered to our room. Lodge is in a very convenient location--near enough to downtown Banff to access all the shops and restaurants, yet set far enough away to be quiet and peaceful. Our only drawback was the electricity went out briefly our last night and the next morning there was no hot water. No hot showers or shaving before checking out.

Unfortunately my husband ended up in a wheelchair just before checking in. This property is not very wheelchair accessible. The staff was very good and found us a ground floor room for the 2nd - 4th night which was better. Parking was horrendous. There is not enough parking consequently you have to park far away from your unit most times. They should have assigned parking spots. Again, with a wheelchair this was difficult. The heating didn't seem to work very well. We did not go to the restaurant - to difficult to get there. We did order room service for breakfast which was overpriced.

객실이 생각보다 넓었으며 분위기 있고 편안했습니다. 거실에 있는 벽난로는 나무와 불쏘시개가 구비되어 잘 가동이 되었고 운치을 돋구는데 한몫했습니다. 밴프로 누가 여행을 간다면 추천할 만한 숙소였습니다.

The resort was great and loved the aesthetic of staying in a lodge. The room itself was spacious and beautiful with a fireplace, perfect for cosy evenings. The bed was comfy. Shower was great. Lovely room and wish we could have stayed longer. One evening there was even elk outside our lodge which made this special to see wildlife so close. Parking was a bit tricky so if getting there later evening might not get a space but there was plenty of space for us to park on the road.

Toilet would not stop running. The rooms have a paper thin walls which made sleeping, especially in the morning not enjoyable. The people above our room were up at 5AM you could hear them walking around loudly and basically heard their full conversation. Needless to say our bed felt like it was in their living room.
