Can't say enough good things about the wedding planner for Cornerstone Nicole, she took total control the day of and we didn't worry about anything. Best part is the set up and take everything down.

We are having our Feast of Tabernacles holy week services here and this will be the 2nd year we've had them here. This place is a total gem of Canmore! The building is beautiful and really has great sound in it! Overall love this building and cant recommend it enough! If they have the Oh Canada dinner show again here I would also recommend that! Done that here also before, and they put on a awesome show!

Upon arrival the parking is good. Restaurant is very upscale looking. Has a neat history of the Iron Goat (I will let you read that for yourself). The server came and told us he would be right with us (which means slot to me...vs being ignored). He (can't remember his name..so sorry) was very friendly, very attentive, and helped us with our questions about the menu and also questions we had about visiting Banff in the morning. His recommendations were spot on. We had the cornbread as an appetizer and chicken gyro, game burger, dragon bowl, fish and chips, and French dip. The cornbread was a delicious start. The molasses butter was very mild and added the right touch to the bread. The chicken gyro was made in house and all the flavors married very well together. The French dip was so good, the best I have ever had. Steak was very tender and flavorful and crispy onions were made in house adding a nice touch. Must give Iron Goat a try!

By 7:15 PM, we had to flag someone down to find out who would be serving us. The server that ended up helping us apologized and explained there was confusion among the staff. The manager personally came over, apologized, acknowledged our frustration, and said they would expedite our food. The food itself was good with no complaints. The beef dishes were cooked to our requested temperatures, and the ribs, cheesy noodles, ravioli, tuna steak, and sweet potato salad were all enjoyable. The initial service was frustrating, but we appreciated the manager taking ownership and making a meaningful gesture to make things right. Overall, the food was good and the recovery was acknowledged and appreciated.

Pros: +Location has great access to Banff National Park +Lots of great nearby espresso, esp. Eclipse +Great waterslide for the kids +Unique architectural layout +Underground parking +Private outdoor penthouse hot tub is sweet! +Washer/dryer is handy +Unit was clean Cons - mainly it's just all stuff in disrepair: -AirCon has 2 modes: super loud (65 db per my Apple watch) or off. Perhaps replacing the filter would make it better? Is there a way to allow the guest to adjust the fan speed? Also it doesn't work great, takes 2 hrs to get from 78F to 72F. -Screen door has large hole in it. And other door has no screen at all. -Kitchen faucet is partially broken -Downstairs enclosed shower has many fancy functions but none of them work - which makes it just a basic shower (better than none for sure) -The hot tub area has hundreds of weeds in the rockery. -The only nearby elevator has been out of service for a day+ -The only condiments provided in the kitchen are salt and pepper, normally vacation condos have a lot more -When we arrived the cushions for the outdoor furniture were in the master closet If all of these were fixed I'd go 4 or maybe 5 stars. Stair concerns: If on the 4th floor there are lots of stairs inside the unit, toddlers and elders beware Stairs are all wood - while they look nice if someone falls it's gonna hurt a lot So in short lots of unrealized potential here.

We enjoyed our round immensely as it seemed like we were the only ones out on the course. At the turn, the snack shack was open even though there were only a few people on the course. I was most thankful for this as they offered some hot beverages! We got hot cocoa with Baileys which definitely helped to warm up my hands, tummy and spirits. We look forward to when we can play again under sunny skies. We also enjoyed dinner too in the clubhouse. Because they were setting up for a special event in the main dining room, Melody sat us in the Members Lounge which was very nice as it afforded views of the golf course and mountain. Melody was very welcoming and gracious. Maddy took very good care of us ... running back and forth asking our questions of the kitchen and getting us refills on our drinks. Both ladies were fantastic and made a wet, gray day brighter. We will definitely be back at some point in the future.

We stayed at an Airbnb at Solara Resort and Spa and it was a good experience. The resort itself is…read morea bit worn down, and in need of some upgrades. While parking is convenient and easy to access, the elevators from the parking area are quite slow and small. I was curious about trying out the onsite spa, but the treatment prices and lack of availability discouraged me from doing so. The unit itself was spacious, clean, and well-maintained. We were pleased with our stay. We visited the pool & hot tub once during our stay, and the pool was smaller than expected. The locker room area was slightly cramped and lacked multiple showers. Not a bad location to stay if you're visiting Banff, but this may vary a bit depending on the individual unit/Airbnb.

The staff (other than Martin the caterer who was amazing) was just terrible. They don't care, and offer very little help and seemingly hate to be there. There is no food at all on property (the Asian place nearby is pretty good). Solara is not really near anything you can walk to so if you do not have a car -forget anything to do. Each time I spoke to the staff the answer was some form of "we are a resort and don't do that." The meeting rooms are sad and tired. Lights are burned out all around the place. Sidewalks are not cleared of snow and ice so there is always a danger when walking.

They have a number of different room where entrepreneurs can work, collaborate or hold workshops. Once i heard that my 6pm meeting was being held in a collaborative workspace, I jumped in my car, laptop in tow, and barrelled out to Canmore to work in Canmore.. I was greeted by Elaine and Willy, and got settled in one of the rooms with their wifi credentials and hunkered down. At 5 pm, the main lobby started to transform with chairs set up theatre style, and AV equipment for the talk from 6-8 pm. Entrepreneurs, if you are looking for a place to dial in, they have monthly memberships and day rates for entrepreneurs to either work or collaborate, right in the heart of Canmore. You can bet I will be back there. What a hidden gem of a business! And a big thank you to Canadian Business Chicks for seeking out this space to share with small businesses!

The floor in my room felt insecure like you're walking in a trailer and there's no padding between the wood paneling and the cheap carpet. Someone in the hallway or next door could be walking and shake my floor. I worried the people underneath me could hear me walking. I could hear my neighbor coughing in bed. When my neighbors opened their doors it creeped me out because it sounds like my door is being opened. I stayed on the 3rd floor facing the front of the hotel and on top of the window is lights. This means that inside my room it never got dark at night because the light seeps in from both sides of the closed curtains and the top. See the curtains are 6 inches away from the window. What that large gap so much light from the roof lights come in and illuminates the whole room and I need a dark room to sleep in. You don't have to turn on any lights to go to the bathroom since the room is so bright. The a/c was so loud! It sounded like a truck was driving through. The lobby bathroom is beautiful but the handicap stall is hard to lock and I got worried about being trapped inside. The other stalls are too small, see they didn't measure properly when they built them as you have to jump over the toilet to close the door. Then the hook for your bag is over the door lock as if I want my bag touching that. Did a man build the women's bathroom? Because its clearly not practical for use. The paper towel holders are too stuffed so you can't pull one out so instead I used the cheap looking one on the wall. Speaking of paper, two nights in a row I didn't get a spare roll of toilet paper in my room. They have a whole wall of pamphlets for tours but when I asked the front desk for a hiking map they didn't have one. I also went to the Banff tourism office but they told me they don't cover Canmore. Canmore has a tourism office but it's clear on the other side of town. I wanted a map to show me the trails I can take around town. Instead I just had to hike blindly not knowing where I was going.

We stayed two nights at the end of August. In town for a wedding, we chose this location based on…read morethe bride/groom's recommendation and its proximity to the wedding venue. We were busy all weekend so didn't get to take advantage of any of the amenities (pool, restaurant/lounge, workout facilities), but our room was very comfortable. We requested a quiet room and were placed on the 2nd floor at the end of the hall overlooking the back parking lot (by the way, we found it so much easier to park back there than in front which was super crowded). While we could occasionally hear our neighbors above and beside us, it was overall peaceful. There are some food and drink options right outside the hotel doors, and you're also an easy 10-15 minute walk to downtown Canmore. We happily left the car parked at the hotel and did all our exploring on foot. Staff was friendly when we checked in and greeted us each time we returned. My only gripe is that they charge for parking. It's a nominal $10/night, but I'd guess most people staying here are driving a vehicle, so why not just work this into the room rate? Anyway, I'd happily stay here again.

I was pleasantly surprised by the variety in art available & how reasonably priced everything was! The thing I enjoyed the most of the gallery is how they took pride in displaying local and Canadian talent. I was expecting it to be largely local, but they really brought in such unique work from all across our country! The gallery is a very relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere that I found very inspiring for my own creativity. We enjoyed the artwork until the gallery closed & then enjoyed taking in the gorgeous exterior - they really upkeep their storefront, it's stunning! A lovely experience, I look forward to returning on my next trip to Canmore.
