We were in a corner room, facing down the valley with a surreal view. Fabulous . The afternoon was so wonderful, we sat out on the private patio and decided we would stay there until the sun went down. Duh, it didn't ! At 2 am we finally realized where we were and sadly said goodnight. We enjoyed several days here exploring the town and the parks. One of the best times we have ever had. Went to the "castle" for lunch and felt very happy with our decision to have stayed at the Rimrock.

Was treated very well. Room was beautiful with a great view. My husband and I stayed for three nights and loved it. Room was spotless and well stocked. Bed was comfortable. Chairs were situated perfectly to enjoy the view. The hotel was very quiet and the staff friendly.I used travel zoo and got a good rate for two nights with some bonus items and paid full price for one night. We were walking distance to the sky tram and also the hot springs. Our room had a fridge so we could have cold water to take each time. Parking was tight and that would be the only thing I could complain about.

Having stayed at the Rimrock the last 3 years I was most disappointed in the way my simple request for a room in the north tower was such a hassle this weekend!! I understand that a request is simply that but when I could not get a room in the north tower and the next person to check in was my buddy and he did get his request for the same north towre something is wrong !! After standing in the check in line for the second time and to have the another desk clerk make me wait another 10 minutes so she could see what she could do for me was frustrating to say the least ! So after all this I did finally get a room in the north tower !! What's up with the $ 10 a day parking fee ?? Where else would you park ??? They got you there !! Brunch in the Primrose was very Disapointing for $ 20 a person as we waited for 45 minutes to get a table and then the food not what you would expect at a 5 star resort ! !! Overall I would say look around banff as there are many hotel options that are 3- 4 star that would be a better choice than the Rimrock

Originally my husband and I had looked at the Banff Springs Hotel for our stay - but although it is wonderful to stay at the castle in the Rockies, the prices are outrageous for a tiny little room. We ended up staying at The Rimrock and it was wonderful. The rooms were spacious and the views of the mountains and valley were excellent. We especially love the Larkspur Lounge where we enjoyed a festive hot chocolate by the huge fireplace while we were reading or visiting with our friends. We spent quite a bit of our time there as we went with a group of people for a birthday party. The first night we went in to Banff for dinner at the Grizzly House (which is an excellent choice for fondue -- but you smell like a deep fryer afterwards!!) and then headed back to the resort to have some cocktails in the Larkspur. The second night, my husband and I enjoyed dinner at the Primrose Dining Room. The food was spectacular - my husband had the braised lamb chop and I had the sablefish and lobster claw linguini -- to die for!! The food and service is unequaled. My husband and I did not want to go back to the real world after our weekend stay at the Rimrock. I definitely recommend this hotel for a romantic weekend or family weekend away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
