It was good they gave us free Roam bus tickets to roam around Banff and the room had a lovely leafy aspect towards the forest. However the room was quite dated and cleaning of the room could have been much better. We tried to use the oven one night but it was locked and we needed a maintenance person to unlock it!

It was once charming

Unfortunately, the property looks like it's seen better days. It's a cute place, or was about a decade ago. Now, it's a little dilapidated. Our one bedroom condo had huge, dust-laden cobwebs in each corner; the wallpaper was peeling in the bathroom and it looked like there was black mold (or very black dust) on the top lip of the tile in the shower. The balcony had a pair of dirty plastic chairs on it and the wall sconce and a wall-mounted ashtray were left lying in front of the sliding door like someone had meant to throw them out but forgotten. The fridge had a layer of dust on top. The air vent cover was black with grime. We had a fireplace and enjoyed building a fire but the fire curtain was broken and was difficult to get into place. The sofa felt broken when we sat on it. There was supposed to be a light over the door but the sconce was hanging off it. The kitchen was otherwise clean and well-stocked, which was a pleasant surprise, and the dishwasher was a nice touch. It's in a quieter location and we enjoyed the distance to the town and the trails around it. The condo itself was well laid out. I can imagine in the lodge's heyday it was a very nice place to stay in, especially if you have kids. We were attracted by the low price but next time will go someplace more expensive and cleaner.

The property is dated but it was perfect for what we needed. We had our own car but having the bus pass was wonderful as we could catch the bus right outside the resort and be downtown in no time no stress over parking.

Never again

Room is unique and looks good at first but the longer we stayed the worse it got. Card didnt work. Microwave/phone/dishwasher were all broken. Bed linens werent clean and beds themselves were so uncomfortable and sunken in the middle it made for a horrible sleep. Play center and change rooms for pool smelled like urine. Hot tub inside was dirty as was the pool. When i checked out i was told i would hear from a manager when they got in about a refund and that was at 8 am this morning. Its now 2 pm and have yet to hear from them. Elevator was absolutely terrifying. It dropped after every floor. Hotel itself is like a maze trying to get from point A to B. Will not stay there again.

The check-in and out was smooth and quick, despite the hotel being old it was well taken care and the room was clean, we only found one dirty tissue on our bed when we return but overall very good. The bad thing is that the pool and hot tub is limited to 9pm which is not fun because many like us enjoy the hot tub at night undee the stars. The bus transportation drops you off right in front of the hotel and to grab it is across the street. The scenery of the mountains is amazing and lots of deers roaming the area. Worth the stay!!!!

It was amazing. Free bus passes to downtown, real wood log fireplace! We slept 6 of us (Wife and I and 4 kids) it was overall amazing. A Deer was literally grazing outside our balcony. The view was amazing. The kids loved the water slides! Overall 10/10. We didn’t have any complaints, staff was polite and helpful. Thank you so much!

We enjoyed our stay here. Our kids (7 & 9) had a blast at the indoor play park and loved the waterslides. We liked having the extra space and kitchen area in our room. Made it easy to save some money and have some meals in the room or a place to store groceries.

The upstairs bathroom door handle was broken. One of the teens with us got stuck inside and couldn't open the door (yes it was unlocked). It took 5 of us to try and about 20 minutes before we were able to get her out! She was tramatized! I told the front desk and she said, oh haha there's lots of things broken around here. She didn't write it down or seem to take it seriously, at all. The remainder of the stay, we had to leave the door unlatched while using the bathroom. I feel sorry for the next people in that room! What if someone is there alone and goes in the bathroom? No one will know they are literally stuck in the bathroom! Other than that, they stay was great. Unfortunately, this is what we will remember.

Had a wonderful night staying at the Douglas Fir. Rooms were big and clean and the hotel was quiet. Only wish is that the pool was open in the morning so we could have gone for a swim before leaving! But the kids play one made up for the pool not being open!

My kids loved the water slides and play zone. The free bus passes for Banffs public transit was awesome and the bus stop was close by. Overall a wonderful stay.
