"Located out of town. Free shuttle handy, but it is small. Arrive early to get a seat. Nice yo have space to spread out in apartment. Shame the 2 bedroom apartments are upstairs. I hate lugging suitcases up and down stairs! Convenient kitchen. Did have an “unwanted guest”. A squirrel spotted running across the floor in the morning. He’d eaten some cookies (hope he didn’t get sick), Staff very efficient. Came as soon as we reported it and moved oven, fridge etc to look for any gaps that it may have entered from. Sealed up one small gap. No signs of him after that."

"We had an amazing stay at Aspen Lodge! The room was beautiful, and the amenities were great. But our favourite part was definitely the breakfast! 😋 It was delicious, very well organized, and we loved that it was self-serve so we could go back for more whenever we wanted. The location is also AMAZING, right in the heart of Banff! Everything is within walking distance, including the shops, restaurants, and most shuttle pickup points for the lakes and airport, which were only about a 10-minute walk away. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Banff! ❤️🏔️"
