    Hot pool and views
    Sara B.

    Very pleased with my stay at Hidden Ridge! Things to note: -The hotel is a 30 minute walk from downtown Banff. Walking downtown is easier (downhill). If you don't want to walk there is a free shuttle that comes once an hour. -Plenty of parking onsite -A heated pool. Great views of the mountains from the pool area, and really just the whole hotel area in general (perks of staying on the actual mountain and not downtown). -All of the rooms are condos and have a living room and kitchen. I'd suggest stocking up the fridge a bit - the hotel has no food or drink and the closest place to get it is downtown. -Rooms are clean and spacious, just a bit outdated. -No AC in the room, but this was never really an issue. It gets pretty cool at night and the room had a large fan. -250/night rate in the middle of summer season. This price is similar to what we saw downtown, so if you'd rather be in the thick of things you can pay a similar rate to do that. Although we wished we were closer to the bars and restaurants we really enjoyed our stay up in the mountains. You definitely can't find a hot spring pool with mountain views at any of the downtown hotels, that's for sure. If you are feeling more of a rustic vibe during your Banff visit then I highly suggest posting up at Hidden Ridge for a few days. You'll enjoy it!

    Filthy switches. All of them are like this.

    One of the worst hotels we have ever stayed at. The owner, management and staff care absolutely nothing about hospitality. They care solely about squeezing as many pennies as possible out of every guest. The rooms are run down, from extreme mildew and black mold in the bathrooms, to abhorrently filthy wall switches, to a broken stove top, to towel racks falling off the wall, to dangerously broken wall outlets, etc., etc. (see photos) This "resort" is listed as having daily room cleaning. This is a scam. It's not until after your first night staying here that you find out, via a note left by housekeeping, that there is no daily cleaning. They claim to clean the room on the third day of your stay, but that does not happen either. They claim to provide cleaning supplies, but none were provided during our 4 day stay. They leave 2 dishwasher detergent tabs under your sink and never replenish them. We had to call the front desk to ask for everything. There are cleaning supplies such as paper towels or cleaning rags or spray cleaner. They merely replace your towels. That is all. They claim to make the beds, but look at our photos to see how this goes...absolute worst housekeeping of all time. Hot tub closes over an hour before it's even dark outside. Staff is incredibly rude. They yell at guests for driving "the wrong way" through the property, despite the 100% absolute lack of any indication that the road is one-way. There are zero arrows, signs or anything posted or painted to indicate that the road is one-way. Laundry facilities are extremely filthy, tiny (2 old, run-down washers for a large complex) and extremely overpriced. It cost $20 to do 2 loads of laundry. This "resort" is an extremely loud party mecca on weekends. Every bachelor, bachelorette and birthday party from Calgary seems to stay here on weekends. I wouldn't send my worst enemy to Hidden Ridge "Resort"

    I was hesitant to book with Hidden Ridge given it's owned by the same group that operates the Inns of Banff, but I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of my stay there. The only disadvantage is no free ski shuttle, although there is bus service to downtown. As a guest free bus passes are available; we tried taking the bus but it was running late and I was freezing so we opted to drive into town instead. The staff was friendly and the condo in great condition, much better than average for a decent price and a good package (ski passes, breakfast items provided in fridge). The bed was comfortable, and we got to enjoy breakfast company of a doe each morning. The grounds are lovely. Very regrettably we did not get a chance to enjoy the hot tub although it looked fabulous. A little home away from home, I wish I owned the condo! Our neighbours upstairs were a little noisy at times, but overall the sound proofing in the place is acceptable. Parking was sometimes a challenge, if there's no above ground parking left it can be a little tricky to manoeuvre a large truck in the underground parking. It looks like they were making more spaces down there so here's hoping it will improve. Maybe they should consider designated parking spaces in front of condos where people are staying, instead of someone having to park way at the bottom and drag all their luggage, ski equipment etc. up the hill to where they're actually staying because someone else is parked in the spots in front of the condo. We'd love to come back with a group of friends for a ski trip next year!

    This is a great place to stay! We came here to go snowboarding at Sunshine the next morning, and it was really close. It was also close enough to downtown. You need a car to get there but it was still convenient for sure. We stayed in a three floor cabin. Two bedrooms and one bath downstairs. A full kitchen, living room on the main floor. And a king size bed, with bathroom loft on the third floor. There were enough TVs everywhere as well. It was just really cozy, clean, and comfortable. Definitely didn't feel like I was staying at some hotel at all. We made ourselves at home immediately. The garage is a few steps away so it was close enough that we didn't need to trek out into the cold for too long.

    My dog loved the bed they supplied

I was on my way to the Banff Gondola when I stopped here. The hot springs are also located nearby. The original hotel opened in 1888 and has gone through several major renovations and expansions since then. Even if you are not staying here, you have to check this place out. I mostly walked around the outside of the hotel and in the main lobby. Fairmont Banff Springs has two main accommodation areas - the Gatehouse and the historic Main Building. It has a Châteauesque design to it. I love how the hotel stands out within the surrounding Valley. I could even see it from Sulphur Mountain when I rode the gondola to the top. The Banff Springs Hotel has over seven hundred guest rooms and several event spaces. This hotel is worth seeing in person for its size and stunning architecture if you are in the area.

You can probably ask them to bring it down for you but to save time upon check-out we brought the luggage down a flight of stairs. The room is spacious for two with the king bed. The bed, pillows, and comforter were plush. Slept easily every night. The view from the room is gorgeous especially with snow. I love how the lamps are step-on to turn on. The outlets are also easily accessible. The bathroom is a decent size. There's a clothesline in the shower you can use if needed. I like how the shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion, and hand soap were from a 1% for the planet brand. There's a shuttle to downtown and back. Pick up and drop off is always at IGA which is easy to find. You just need to call or let the front desk know when you need the shuttle.

Shuttle service to/from downtown was a life saver. Hiking and biking amenities seemed good but we did not participate. Removed from downtown which made it a bit more cozy. We really did like this aspect of the hotel . Cons: a bit dated and in need of some upgrades. Our room was small. Okay for a couple of days but would suggest a room upgrade if staying more than a couple of nights. I like hotels to have some level of market where bottled water, snacks, etc., can be purchased. Juniper did have some juice drinks and protein'ish bars available yet my personal preference is for more options. All in all, a great place to stay, with top notch views and super service. I would certainly recommend you consider Juniper for your upcoming stay.

Seriously, I forgot we even had neighbours. Not a peep of noise all night (on a friday, at that!). Our only real (and small) gripe was the temperature. Despite fiddling with the room heating, it was always just a little chilly. But we had a tall roof, a big window, and perhaps not the best "fiddling" knowledge. All in all, not a big deal :) This place was cute, sweet, cozy and clean. Almost makes you feel kinda bad about wanting to stay in your room the whole day while beautiful banff is waiting outside.
