If you're lucky, you will have a great view of the mountain & river from your balcony. The staff are friendly too. Location is just few blocks away from the busy street of banff (stores & all). And you can catch up your bus to Gondola within 10mins walk from this lodge.

The location is great for avoiding the summer crowds, “reasonable” for Banff prices, with access to sister properties with pool and dining. Rooms were spacious though dated; no AC in summer. Staff very helpful and friendly
