Banff Park Lodge

Great location

Central location, friendly staff.

Bed spreads near a serious cleaning, stains and frays are everywhere.

Leisure facilities were excellent. Comfy beds too.

No free wi-fi. They charge $10-a-day.

Great location close to some of the tourist attractions in Banff. Very convenient walking distance to shopping and dozens of restaurants. Very nice staff. Parking garage was very convenient. Looked like an ideal facility for small conferences. Check-in and check-out were a breeze. Had wired internet in one wing -- speed 5Mb/1.5Mb. Nice shops downstairs off the lobby.

It was a bit pricey in the high summer season, but so were many other things in Banff. Extra daily cost for wifi and underground parking. Hotel was mostly quiet, but a little noisy when trains came through, not awful. Room layout and some furnishings were dated (mixed ages/styles), but the room was reasonably comfortable. Maintenance of some plumbing fixtures was deficient (I have no clue why housekeeping staff coordinates so poorly with the maintenance crew in many hotels such as this). My rating would have been higher if staff had bothered to take just 15 seconds of screwdriver time on the shower handles. Front desk person was unaware of wired internet, "We don't have that!" But they do in one wing. Be aware that Banff town is a significant distance from the Icefields Parkway.

Great location

It was quiet and comfortable, except for the occasional train whistle, which occurred intermittently through the night. Location was close to Banff Avenue.

The location was just perfect

Great location for exploring Banff and its walking trails (we parked the car in the hotel garage and did not use it again during our stay). Quick check-in/check-out, friendly staff.

Parking in underground garage is $9.50 per day - but most streets and parking lots in downtown Banff have 3 hour max. for parking.

We found the staff very friendly and helpfull. We only used the hotel on a B & B basis and the breakfast was excellent. We used the hotel for a ski holiday and it is perfectly positioned in Banff for the ski bus which stops outside. It is the last stop before the bus leaves Banff town for the slope and the first stop coming home at night which saves a lot of time between the hotel and the slopes.

staff were welcoming and very hospitable; rooms clean and pleasant; beds comfortable; food in the restaurant was excellent and great value; fantastic location.

For what we were looking for on this ski holiday, there was nothing that I didn't like about the hotel.
