Excellent trail's
Room was tiny
Staff were phenomenal
Great place to stay away from the busy crowds in Banff. Beautiful views. Enjoyed Trappers bar. Great atmosphere. Getting up to the hotel via gondola makes it pretty special.
Very great stay! The hotel is located in a quiet valley surrounded by forest. Great customer services that gives us lots of help when needed! A special THANKS to Christine :) We will definitely visit here next time coming to Banff.
Beautiful Area! Nice staff. Can hike outside the door. Nice hot tub,robes, and rooms. A few dining options on property. They do charge a resort fee at checkout that is not clear until you check out and they have ice to keep drinks cold but no fridge for leftovers. Nice hiking guide with lots of information. We didn't actually hike very far but he gave a lot of great information and was personable.
The accommodations were excellent, comfortable and luxurious. The staff were friendly and made the experience even better. I would 100% return here and recommend it to friends and family who visit the area.
We loved staying up on the mountain and being able to ride the gondola up and down. The shuttle bus to Banff helped a lot as we wanted to go back into town and not have to drive. The two restaurants and the cafe offered enough dining options for our two nights. Staff was very friendly and helpful and the brief guided hike was pleasant, as was the hot tub
The property was clean and staff were very friendly. The rooms are on the small side and are showing their age. The dining room staff was average and service was poor-to-fair.
Awesome views . Great hiking. Staff is amazing. Walls in the room are a little thin so be careful with the hanky panky. We upgraded our room to the King bed with the more updated room and it was well worth it. It is a about 10 minutes from Banff but then you need to get on the ski lift and take a 20 minute ride to the top where the hotel is but it was well worth it. Very peacfull.
What an amazing place to stay! The gondola ride from the parking lot up to the resort is beautiful and so peaceful. The resort is clean and cozy, with such friendly staff. The food was delicious at Chimney Corner and Trappers Tavern. The hikes through the property are abundant ranging from an easy stroll to more challenging treks with breathtaking views.
