Weekend bday getaway

It was my bday weekend with my partner. I really enjoyed the whole place. Our room has rustic romantic ambience, the hot pool is perfect after a day exploring downtown Banff. The best of all is the wood burning fire place - while feeling the breeze of coldness! It was a perfect romantic celebration of my bday.

Excellent stay

Great service from the start. Beautiful room, well kept and clean. I called in the evening to see if there was a microwave available and the front desk delivered one to my room. The staff are always super friendly. I love staying here and will definitely stay again.

Great location and cozy room

It was an amazing stay at the buffalo mountain lodge. The fire place gave a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. It was excellent service overall. A family of deer welcomed us after we checked in. Staying at this lodge made our Banff trip more special. The bus stop is right across the road, which makes it easier to get around. Also we could walk to the town through the neighbourhoods nearby. My husband and I will definitely book this lodge again when we come back to Banff.

Hotel is a beautiful spot. Bath tubs, shower heads etc are a little old and dirty at this point, covered in hard water and could use a deep scrub.

Disappointed

“My stay at the hotel was okay, but there were a few issues. During check-in, I was initially charged $240 more than my Hotels.com reservation. It took a long time and the involvement of a manager before they finally honored the correct price, which made the experience quite uncomfortable. On a positive note, the hot tub was fantastic, and the room itself was very comfortable. However, the fireplace didn’t function properly, as smoke kept coming back into the room. Additionally, I noticed stains on the comforter and pillow cover, which was disappointing. While there were some highlights, these issues affected my overall experience.”

We absolutely love this hotel. The beds were super comfortable, clawfoot tub, our mountain view, and the Prow restaurant was so tasty.
