Peaks Hotel & Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice property, close to everything. Really nice size room, with everything you need "

Banff Aspen Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Visited Banff with my mom and the rooms were nice and clean. Staff were very friendly and helpful. HUGE parking in the back of the hotel, which was free so that’s AMAZING. I liked that the buffet breakfast started early, and even though is it a smaller breakfast restaurant, it was really yummy and had all the main food items. The room we got had a detached sink from the rest of the washroom which was surprisingly convenient for a mother daughter duo. I could use the sink and mirror to get ready for the day, while my mom occupied the washroom. Banff Aspen is located at a convenient spot, with a fire pit outside and they also have a really good coffee bar inside near the lobby. We didn’t try the hot tub or the pool, but a lot of folks i bumped into the elevator did and they tried to talk me into enjoying it but i was busy exploring banff. "

Mount Royal Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I had an amazing view from my room that had the most lovely high ceilings. Everything was quite spacious and clean, including the bathrooms. I definitely took advantage of the hot tubs on the 5th floor. The ease of access to the ski shuttle and downtown restaurants and shopping was perfect. My only critique was the allowance of several small (4 to be exact, over 2 different nights) children into the liunge area that does explicitly state "no minors." I would've stayed for a drink while waiting on the hot tubs the second night, but they were jumping on the couches and shrieking. Considering it was easy for me to leave, I did so. But something they should consider reinforcing. "
