We visited Banff Gate on a week's timeshare selloff - and were happy with the experience. Views from the large windows are beautiful. Resort is on a mountainside a few miles outside of the Banff Park gates. Units are stand alone and very quiet. Rooms are large - basics were clean, except for dirty glasses someone had put back in the cupboard. The deck is huge and would be a great place to spend summer afternoons and evenings. The second day, the furnace had quit over night; maintenance was there immediately and had it fixed. Staff were very friendly.
Internet in the unit was very sporadic. Main lodge connection was much better.
The inside of the unit is completely finished in cedar, sometimes seeming rather dark. Lighting could be somewhat better. Not a plush resort by any means, but the rustic aspect fits the surroundings - and the views are superb.
Pool and hot tub look refurbished - bright and clean.
Plan to come back to this resort in the summer.
