First of all we…read morewere greeted by KYLE, who was very friendly and was helpful and kind at every encounter during our 4 day stay. What a wonderful way to start off our stay! The Hotel is beautiful, the restaurants were great. We also really enjoyed our dinner in the steak Chop house where i was Serenaded Birthday song by our Server, Mr. Gilbert who sings like an Angel. the PRIME RIB was AMAZING. The Nordic Spa was wonderful and I received a very good Aromatherapy massage (one of the best I've ever had) The NORDIC SPA with its Finnish Sauna and Cold Plunge and various pools was wonderful! What a GREAT EXPERIENCE! The Burgers were huge and delicious, the cocktails in the lounge was wonderful. and the Breakfast Buffett every morning was outstanding with the best CREAMY scrambled eggs i' ve ever tasted and perfect Crossiants and pastries. EVERY EMPLOYEE we encountered was friendly and professional. Our Suite was lovely with a great view of the mountains. We walked the paved trail around the property and enjoyed the benches and views. I cannot say enough good things about this Marriott owned property. Will definetley return and recommend it to our friends.

It is our family tradition to come yearly and this year the lodge really disappointed us. The…read morethings in the room as we unpacked got worse and worse. From dirty towels to sinks, a loose toilet handle, to empty amenities. The live music nightly next to the fire pit and s'mores was at least decent. This indoor water park that was under renovation was also a disappointment we did not see anything new perhaps just a refresh of the pool and slides so don't expect anything different.

The resort is very mountainous looking resort on the outside, in fact very inviting. This location is on the outskirts of the busy Canmore Town. With hiking trails to town or by the river. The staff very friendly and accommodating upon checkin. There is 2 levels of underground parking for guests. Upon arriving to our suite as we entered it was like entering a apartment full kitchen with counter seating for 4 and huge table, 2 bedrooms, 2 huge bathrooms, washer and dryer, living room with fireplace, a balcony with BBQ. Looking over the courtyard and pool. Considering how full this resort was with guests, it's very quiet inside the unit. There is a cafe connected to the resort called Black Dog Cafe. Note: stay away it's very over priced below par food with very slow service. Better off going to Tim Hortons down the road for half the price and fresh hot breakfast. There is a cute Deli called Bohemian smoked meat Czech Deli across the street highly recommend! Freshly made sandwiches and soups. In the Garden centre of all places is a Tea house with gourmet Japanese breakfast or Lunch made fresh everyday called Wagashi. This resort is very well situated amongst the mountains and away from town. Will be back in the future had a fantastic stay.

I recently attended a wedding at the Nakoda Lodge. I couldn't believe how beautiful the location…read morewas. I have been past this area many times, but didn't realize that a large facility was there for events such as this. It's located east of Canmore and is only about an hour drive from downtown Calgary. The buffet dinner was really quite good, compared to some wedding buffets that I've been to! Some of the highlights were the grilled cedar plank salmon and the mediterranean fatoush salad (cucumber, red onion, olives, tomatoes, chick peas and thinly sliced hearts of Romaine in an olive oil and lemon vinaigrette). Where this experience stood apart was with the excellent service that we received. Someone was always around when we needed something, and immediately went above and beyond to make us happy. I was helping decorate the cake in between the ceremony and reception. We had forgotten to take the icing out of the fridge before the ceremony, and I thought we were going to be stuck trying to ice the cake with cold, stiff icing. Instead, the chef jumped in and helped us by heating it in his large industrial sized warmer. Crisis averted!! The staff for the remainder of the evening stopped by each table frequently to see if anything was needed. They did a great job. The room rates weren't cheap but they certainly weren't too outrageous either (~$170 plus tax per night). The rooms were clean and functional, although we didn't spend much time there with all of the wedding festivities that were going on. For guests wanting to save some money (or have a more unique experience), there were also tipis available. Many guests also brought trailers and just camped for the weekend. We had a great time, and I would look forward to attending another wedding at this venue.

The Bad: :: my sheets were very rough, worn and bumpy. you could literally run your hands over the sheets and feel them. i didn't notice the first 2 nights because i wore pj pants but when i switched to sleeping shorts, i noticed immediately with my legs and confirmed with my hands. they really need to recycle/reuse older/worn sheets and ensure that all sheets are nice and soft for guests. :: it was hard to wash dishes in the one sink as there is not much counter space at all to hold food, drinks, and a dish drying rack. i had to put washed dishes into a big bowl and then dry them with a cloth when the bowl got full. also, the counter space available is not adjacent to the sink--it's sink then stove then counter space. :: the gas for the outdoor small fire pit is not free--it's currently $40 CAD per tank. it feels a bit nickel-and-dime. consider introducing a community set of fire pits that can be turned on and off by personnel that doesn't cost guests money. :: no condiments, spices, etc outside of a salt and pepper shaker. it's not an AirBnb or Vrbo so don't expect a fully stocked set of things for your use. get your necessities before you arrive because the nearest major grocery store is about 40 minutes away in Canmore! you're going to have to do a lot more meal and grocery planning in advance of arrival to avoid the 40 minute drive in and 40 minute drive back. :: no convenient place to eat meals except the couch. there is no table or chairs, and i used the folding table they provide to put my luggage on top of to get it out of the way. not a dealbreaker though...just keep your meals simple and easy to eat on the couch so you don't need any elaborate setup for dining! :: no snowshoes for guests to use :: no hot cocoa or smores for guests in a community form The Ugly: :: none Would I go back? 100% yes! This place is a fantastic idea and while they are still figuring some things out, being a new business and all, what they have established as the baseline is solid and just needs a little tweaking. This place is IN.

The town of Banff is filled with hostels, so it actually makes sense that this is a super chill place to hangout with good vibes. There's a ton of fun common space filled with games and couches. You can see storage lockers, bikes, and there's even a movie theater room. The check-in is at the bar where you receive a token for a free welcome drink. There's also a "food truck" which serves some food. There's a huge hot tub that's as big as the pool to relax after a long day of hiking. Location- It's right on the edge of town so it's super easy access in and out. Parking was just under 20 bucks but there's actually plenty of free street parking right behind the hotel. You can easily walk into town. Rooms- the rooms are adorable! They have a wilderness theme and they go all out on Banff. I could not believe the detail of the tiny crocheted moose head on the wall. So freaking adorable!! You can tell most of the rooms are designed to fit multiple people. The layout is probably a bit strange in comparison to a standard hotel room, but it's super fun for a mountain getaway. Loved all of the small details and the little connected patio. Couple small cons- the rug shed like crazy. My socks looked like they had a ton of dog fur. I remedied this by asking for a pair of slippers. I used the retro telephone and hit bedtime stories and got a long distance phone bill upon checkout; the front desk fixed it, but I thought it was strange. More pros- it happened to be my birthday, and I loved the personalized postcard in my room, along with extra drink tokens and goodies. Would definitely come back!

Hi-ya! Moose suites…read morewas a great hotel. It's super clean, good staff and next to the Roam transit and shopping areas. When you first walk in the lobby check in area is next to the large sitting area with a big fireplace that is hot enough to warm you but not make the place uncomfortable. The rooms are very well maintained and so are the walkways, fitness center, sauna, jacuzzis (2 large ones) and pool. The restaurant that is nothing the hotel we didn't eat at, but I ordered and old fashioned and it was good and strong, but no black cherry, but that was fine. The sauna was so clean and it felt great to warm up more in the mornings and relax in the jacuzzis after a hike in the evenings. The jets were powerful and the views from that area overlook the the mountains and the gondola an Norquay. This hotel was great, only one thing really, the laundry room at 2 washers and 2 dryers which were of good quality, but one was down. We stayed here for 6 days and i thought that was a good amount of time without it becoming too day to day feeling. 5 stars because we had a great time there AND they provided loaner bear sprays for all of us. I don't know if they can do it for everyone, but that saves you at lease 35 bucks for each spray that you can't take back in the flight if you do t use (and don't check bags). That was an amazing food convenience.

I guess I'm not Canadian, and I got used to it, but having a bit more wind protection on the exterior walkways would have been nice - or warmer robes.... Not an issue in summer and not a huge deal in winter but worth knowing. 2) Restaurant isn't great. Mid level chain place. Much better options in town. Staff great loved the spacious rooms and ski lockers.
