“SPARKLING CLEAN AND COMFY”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 February 2012
3
people found this review helpful

We go to Banff for skiing about 6-8 weekends a year so have stayed in most hotels. The Caribou is my favorite because the rooms are immaculate, generously sized, beautifully decorated in earth tones with scenic pictures (not tacky pictures) and wrought iron beds and accents. The beds are super comfy with high quality sheets and duvets. This is the cleanest hotel I have ever stayed in - even the parkade is pretty with historic photos and lovely elevator lobbies..The hot tub is huge with great jets as well as a steam room and sauna. I have not used the spa services. The front desk staff are extremely professional and helpful. Its about a 5 minute walk to the restaurants and shops of Banff Avenue.

We're glad you enjoyed your time at the Caribou Lodge and thank you for your comments. The artwork in our Parkade is painted by a local artist named Monica Ferrari and fits with the historic theme you'll find in our hotel and Keg Restaurant. We are currently adding 40 new historic images to our corridors inside the hotel - look for them this spring. Hope to see you back again!

“Very Pleasant Stay, Great Ambience”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 January 2012

Really liked this place, it’s not in the centre of Banff so it’s a drive to get into town (or get the free bus) but it’s a very pleasant place to stay. Rooms are clean, well appointed and spacious and the hotel as a really pleasant ambience to it that seemed to be missing from other properties in the area.

Particularly recommend the lovely spa area, we had it to ourselves when we were there. Worth the outlay, good value for money.

“"Nice Hotel"”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 January 2012

people found this review helpful

I stayed with my family for 3 nights between Christmas and new years. The Hotel has been recently renovated, the bathrooms looked really nice and clean, they still need to change the carpets on the hallways that looked really old. The hotel is conveniently located within a walking distance form the town center, we walked to the stores, there is a supermarket close by to buy snacks and food to take to the mountains and not have to pay the prices at the ski resorts, we also walked to the movie theater. Hotel has an underground parking and ski lockers included in the room price. We ate twice at the Keg, and the food was good. Even though we used the hotel mostly for sleeping after all day skiing, we found it a good choice during that time of the year and it did offer us a good night of restful sleep. I would recommend it to couples and families.

Thank you for the review and feedback. I am happy to report that our hallway carpets are now replaced on the first and second with a beautiful wool carpet and our third and fourth floors will be complete by the first week of February. We hope you make it back to stay with us again soon.

“Banff Caribou - A very warm experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012

We stayed one night between Christmas 2011 & New Year and wished it could have been longer. The staff were very friendly & helpful & the room very comfortable. It easily accommodated our party of 4. The location, while on the edge of town, was only a 10 minute walk into the town centre. We would return and recommend this hotel to friends.
