We were not given the room we reserved on Expedia. The front desk said they could upgrade us if we paid extra. We just wanted the room we paid for. After 2 nights in a much smaller room than we reserved, we complained and only then were we given the room we originally should have had, and it was our last night. There is no AC in the rooms and the window is too small to cool off the room when it is open, even with the cooler temperature outside. Coming from Florida, we were looking forward to the cooler temperatures, but ended up sweating in the heat of the room which also made it difficult to sleep. On a positive note, the Keg restaurant had good food and the location of the lodge was good.

Good location in Banff. Excellent breakfast menu options even for vegetarian. Only drawback, if u have full size SUV, then it won't fit in their parking garage under the hotel and so u need to find parking space on streets. The same issue for most hotels in Banff - won't fit large full size SUVs. Hotel did provide bus pass for free during our stay which is lot more convenient option in Banff area.
