Moose Hotel And Suites

8/10 Good

"Solid but not exceptional 4.5"

Canalta Hotel Lodge

8/10 Good

"It was better than I expected ; the overall cleanliness and the friendliness of staff were great and the breakfast, in particular was excellent. Although I didn’t use the hot tub, I could see that it was being well maintained. One issue I would like to point out is that there was stubborn, deep-set grime inside of the toilet bowl specially around the drain area from the day I checked in, which was unpleasant. I left a note for the cleaning staff asking them to pay special attention to cleaning that area but the situation didn’t improve, I suppose it was the kind of stain that isn’t easily removed. Aside from that, staying here was an overall positive experience, good enough that I would happily stay there again."

Banff Park Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"We loved staying here! They upgraded our room and provided a complimentary bottle of wine for our anniversary. They also provided us parking before check in. Staff was excellent, room was very clean, and great amenities available. The rooms are newly renovated and currently working on their public areas. The construction didn't affect our stay at all. Would highly recommend staying here!"
