Had a great stay. The property was very convenient to eateries and transportation. Bed was comfortable. Decently priced. Staff was very professional and willing to help. Downside is that this hotel is rather things such as light switches and electrical outlets really need to be replaced because they have been used quite a bit over the years. This would be a significant improvement that would add to the value. Clean. I especially like the balcony where you could sit and relax.

There is no air conditioning and the window was too small to allow fresh air. At night the room was too hot to sleep comfortably but there seemed to be air conditioning in the hallways. Staff seemed to think that heating controls were self explanatory but the contest in our room suggested cooling was possible. Very confusing and staff were unapologetic. This seems to be a property where Expedia bookings are given poor quality rooms as I have experienced elsewhere

Banff Caribou Lodge was perfect for our stay. Parking on site and under ground, the heated pool and mountain view balcony from our room. It was everything we needed. We’ll be back and do recommend!
