The ride is about 30 minutes but went by quickly - we were given two blankets each one to sit on to stay warm and a second to cover us up. You can for easily 4 adults across in a row (maybe 6 rows?) - very charming and peaceful ride into the snowy woods! When we returned we had hot coffee and hot chocolates waiting for us! Definitely a must for any families or couples!

We did have issues with noise one of our nights. The guests in the room next door were incredibly noisy and there were kids constantly running up and down the halls at night and in the early morning. Due to this we did receive a partial refund. One really neat touch that I've never seen at a hotel before was that they offered a free car wash! They provided everything you needed to do the job. They also provided a blu ray player in the room and bath salts which I have never seen before in a hotel either. They also gave us fresh cream for coffee in the fridge. There is one heated pool and 2 hot tubs. The pool could've used a cleaning as there were a bunch of leaves on the bottom. The hot tubs were nice but limited to 4 people each. Unfortunately, it was so busy that it was almost impossible to use. You constantly had to be watching it like a hawk if you wanted a turn. They did put a sign asking people to limit their time to 15 mins but that of course never happened. All in all I would love to stay here again. I would just make sure I get a room on the top floor and without an adjoining door.

I've been saving the Buffaloberry Bed and Breakfast for review #500…read more The B&B is named after a native plant that grows throughout the Canadian Rockies. The Buffaloberry's berries are not only favorite treats of the birds and bears, but were also used by the Plains Indians to flavor buffalo meat. A more appropriate (and cuter) name couldn't have been found for James and Theresa's property, as you will learn about their passion for wildlife, native plants, and culinary endeavors while staying with them. The personable James and Theresa are true professionals, skilled in the art of hospitality and home-building. They designed and built The Buffaloberry Bed and Breakfast from the ground up to be a gorgeous home with a purpose: the purpose of treating guests to the best B&B experience ever. Four bedrooms (two on each floor) are located near the entrance of the property. The living space with comfortable couches, a fireplace, bar area and outdoor patio, is shared with everyone. The breakfast table is shared, as well, which is separated from the kitchen by a sliding door. You can just imagine what wondrous creations are being made behind that door while you sit and enjoy your coffee or tea, yogurt, fruit salad, homemade granola and muffins before the hot portion of the meal is served. Theresa's recipes are tested and experimented with several times until she feels she has everything just right. And she definitely has everything just right! From whole soft-cooked eggs in Canadian bacon pockets to souffle-like Camembert scrambled eggs with onions and chicken apple sausage to buckwheat blueberry pancakes to croissant French toast...we were in B&B heaven. We were provided with excellent suggestions for our explorations around Banff, including hikes of varying levels of difficulty and sites of historical interest. The property was perfectly located just a few blocks from the main part of town with a Safeway along the way. No review of a B&B would be complete without comments about the rooms themselves. At The Buffaloberry, every detail has been thought of and taken care of for you. Each room has a private bathroom (two have shower stalls and two have showers over tubs) with plenty of towels and travel-sized soap/shampoo. The queen-sized beds are very comfortable and covered with high quality linens and super warm yet lightweight duvets. There are small TVs over a desk, and the two rooms facing the front of the property have additional windows from which you can see some of the mountains of Banff. The entire B&B is tastefully and warmly decorated; the beautiful Canadian pine and special flooring offer a very comfortable yet elegant style that we definitely enjoyed. I highly recommend that you stay at The Buffaloberry while in Banff. You can thank me after you get back home and are missing Theresa and James and their delicious breakfasts!

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.

Full kitchen was very convenient for breakfast and some dinners, especially for the kids. Every room has a patio with a gas grill. Pool is small but it was nice. Hotel is clean and well maintained.

Aug weekend (not long weekend), place only had choice of 2 rooms since we waited so long. ~$400/night. Booked Comfort Family room (Temple). Place is easy to find via google Maps. Can park right in front to unload and then there are exactly enough parking spots for each room to have 1 spot. Parking pass given upon check-in. Late check-in (after 10PM) available. Room looks dated but bed was fine. 2 single beds upstairs, 1 queen bed downstairs. TV has Netflix. Shower does not drain. Sink was chipped. Lots of tables, chairs, a desk in the room. Fan in room, A/C was there but with a crank window no way to attach it to the window/prevent hot air entering. Rooftop hot tup was 10/10 great - first come first serve. Opens at 9AM and with checkout at 11AM was able to get 1 more dip in before we checked out. Service was poor. Staff never asked how we were, how the stay was. Breakfast service was short and after she delivered the food never ever came back. She got my order wrong, but since she never came back I didn't have the chance to ask for a correction. Saturday - chai pudding appetizer and then sunny side up egg on 1/2 bagel with cream cheese, fresh spinach, fresh tomato, covered in hollandaise sauce. Sunday was egg bite appetizer with French toast with berry compote. Food itself was decent just wish the service was more welcoming, took order correctly, and easier to make substitutions. Coffee was super weak, orange juice was super weak and tasteless. Variety of hot teas was excellent. No fresh fruit available. Would loved a banana to just be offered or available. Was hoping for a more warming feeling, maybe fresh muffins/cookies, fresh made bread, better service. For the price I'd rather stay a hotel where the attendant actually asks how the stay was and how the guests are doing.

And staying there is no different. We chose to stay in Canmore which is about 20 minutes away from Banff, still very pretty and more affordable. This bed and breakfast offered the cutest home made breakfast every morning and they did have vegetarian options! The food may look plain from the pics but everything we ate was good and just felt very comforting and homey.

It's about a 15 minute walk into the heart of downtown…read moreBanff and all the shops and restaurants, and I appreciate that it's a little removed from all that busyness. There is a nearby bus stop too. I love all the amenities here. The hot tubs (they have two) are delightful and they also have a cold plunge pool. I did their cold plunge challenge, where they have a timer set for 3 minutes. I felt amazing afterwards! I love going back and forth between the hot tubs and cold plunge pool. They also have a sauna outside too. They offer free S'mores every day for happy hour, and supplies so you can roast your marshmallows by the fire pit outside. Lots of seating outside and I really enjoyed sitting outside and reading. They also offer board games to play and have a lot of indoor and outdoor seating, so many options of where you can be. They have a full bar with a nice selection. Delicious happy hour wine deals! I love their red wines. The food is really good here too. They have a really nice breakfast buffet and it's included with your room. Pancakes, eggs, sausage, yogurt, juices, pastries, and more. The bar serves snacks and other food throughout the day and evening. I really enjoyed their charcuterie board. So fresh and delicious. Our room/suite was very spacious. Two queen beds and a living room area with a sofa and fire place. The beds were pretty comfortable but not amazing. We had a microwave and refrigerator, and I loved the espresso machine. We also had a dining table. The bathroom had lovely shampoo, conditioner, and body wash from a local company. My only suggestion is that I wish we had more storage options to unpack our clothes. There were some hangers to hang a few items and there was 1 drawer in the nightstand. I wish we had a dresser. Excellent and friendly staff. I really enjoyed the vibe of this place. I would definitely stay here again.
