Nice hotel. About a 15 min walk to the main downtown area. Hotel only had a large hot tub (hot pool) I filtered pool expecting a “normal” pool. My fault for not reading descriptions properly.

Checking in and out was nice and easy! We also really enjoyed using the hot pool and sauna. Our room was on the same floor as the hot pool, so there was a chlorine smell which would have been harder to deal with if we had stayed for longer than two nights. Other than that we enjoyed our stay.

We upgraded and we loved the loft with jacuzzi. They had a cute xmas tree and decor on the fireplace which made it cozy. Like having multiple windows and stunning views. Our teens were in a double room with balcony and their room was great too. The public hot tub was cute and spacious. An outdoor tub would be even better. Location and roam bus were great. Staff was nice.

Now this was an excellent hotel experience! At check-in, the girl asked me if I was in Banff to ski, and I told her that I was there on a date. She sent a complementary bottle of wine with wine glasses up to my room! Just an excellent hotel I would stay at the Caribou anytime I’m in Banff!
The service and food at the hotel restaurant, The Keg, was outstanding!

We stayed at this hotel for only one night. When we checked in, we intended to pay the room charge in cash, but the staff refused, saying they had no change, so we paid by credit card instead. In addition, the staff asked us to pay a security deposit. We also asked whether the deposit could be paid in cash. The staff replied that if the deposit was made by credit card as a pre-authorization, it would be $100, but if it was paid in cash, we would have to pay $200. As a result, besides paying more than $150 by credit card for the room, we also paid $200 in cash as a securitydeposit. The next day, when we checked out, another front-desk staff member unexpectedly told us: “That 200 in cash was mistakenly used to pay the room charge of over $150, so I will return more than 40 change to you. As for the credit card payment of over $150, we will cancel it with the bank.” I have never encountered such a chaotic arrangement before!
