Loved staying at the Buffalo Mountain Lodge, close to town but away from the business of Banff Avenue. My room was great, love the fireplace but too hot too put it on during the summer, can imagine it will be great in the winter. Ate in the restaurant one night and the food was lovely. Staff were great and really helpful. Great that the Roam Bus takes you direct to town and you are provided with a pass. Would definitely stay here again if I come back to Banff and will recommend it to others coming. thanks for a great stay!
