Great location and excellent parking/restaurant. Our stay was less than great by virtue of being allocated a room on floor one, which had a very strong smell of chlorine circulating throughout the entire floor (as the pool was on this floor). I had a negative reaction to the chlorine and raised this with staff, whereby the response was simply ‘oh well’. The downstairs housekeeping/storage room doors were left open all the time as well, thus leaving the distinct impression you were staying in an industrial basement, rather than a hotel, and the staff did not care that this was the impression given to guests. The room clearly needed some maintenance due to loose taps, a poor shower, and general wear being obvious. The pool was also shut for a whole day during our four night stay, no real warning was given of this, save a note stuck up on the wall with less than 24 hours notice.

great location and super staff

the lodge was in a great location, the rooms were spacious for 2 people and had a kitchen and all needed items for meals in the unit. The only drawback is the units need updating, especially the carpet and paint. Otherwise the staff is great and I would stay there again.

Rooms are extremely small and the price was extremely high. Not worth it to stay here. It’s better to stay in Calgary and make a day trip to Banff and come again the next day if you like to spend another day in Banff.

Amazing stay for the price

Loved our stay at the Caribou Lodge! The lobby and our room are super cozy and clean. Staff are friendly and helpful. Location is great, just 20 mins walk from Banff center or less than 10 mins by bus (bus passes for the whole stay provided by the hotel too which we love). Bus stop is right by the hotel which is super convenient, we didn't have to drive the car to Banff town at all during the whole stay. Restaurant has nice breakfast too!
