I've returned to Banff Park Lodge for 14 years, and it never disappoints! The views of the mountains are stunning, and the staff always go the extra mile, making each stay exceptional. While the hotel is ideally located for a quiet retreat just outside of town, I found some imperfections in the dining services that could be improved. Overall, it's a wonderful place, but guests might want to manage expectations around food service and options.

My stay at the cabin was extraordinary! The hosts, Malcolm and Sharon, made us feel incredibly special with their thoughtful touches and amazing breakfasts. The cabin was rustic yet cozy, perfect for a romantic getaway, though the mattress could use some updating for a better night's sleep. It's conveniently located for exploring the breathtaking Rocky Mountains, but some modernization would enhance the overall experience.

I had a wonderful stay at the Banff Log Cabin, which is the perfect blend of charm and comfort. The hosts, Sharon and Malcolm, made us feel right at home with their warm hospitality and delicious breakfasts. The location is fantastic, just a short walk to many beautiful sites in Banff. However, while the cabin is cozy and well-maintained, the quiet ambiance might not be ideal for those wanting more nightlife. Overall, I would highly recommend it for a peaceful getaway.

Overall, I had a satisfying experience at this hotel, especially with the cozy cabin where we celebrated our elopement. The service from Sharon and Malcolm was exceptional, making our special day memorable. The location is peaceful and only a short walk to downtown.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the location is fantastic, making it easy to explore the beautiful sites of the area, the cleanliness of the room left much to be desired. The staff were friendly and offered complimentary parking but the service could have been better. The room itself was spacious but in need of some updates. Overall, it was decent value for money, though some aspects dampened the overall enjoyment of the stay.
