The location is amazing and staff is super friendly, but there is a lot lacking for the price. Beds are super uncomfortable, tv’s are ancient, walls/floors are thin, food variety after 5pm is very limited, and luggage takes up to 2 hours to deliver up/down the hill.

Very helpful staff and willing to provide support to visitors. Interesting experience to live at the mountain. Nice hiking experience during summer. Gondola ticket included in the room fee. Quite value for money if you already decide to take the gondola at sunshine village. For visiting the hotel, people can either take the gondola and shuttle provided by the hotel.

Amazing hotel with fabulous accommodating staff. There were many hiccups during our travel unrelated to the hotel and the hotel staff was there to assist every step of the way. The gondola rides to and from the hotel were amazing and added that little extra flair to our adventure. The hotel itself is conveniently located within 30 minutes from Banff and many popular tourist attractions. The on site hot tub was very well maintained and made for an excellent end of day activity when you are looking to unwind and relax. They resort grounds also offer their own trails and views with a chance of seeing wildlife. Would highly recommend and would stay again.

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.
