Had to change rooms twice. Chlorine level in pool was excessively high it was so bad your eyes would burn and you could taste the chlorine . Staff refused to help. First room had window frozen open. Front desk staff didn’t want to assist and tried to use the excuse of too many bathers. It was bad enough they had to close the pool. Staff is dishonest and I wouldn’t recommend anyone stay there till they fix their issues. Asked for a manager and no one would connect with us. More to say but will leave it at that for now

We really enjoyed our stay at the Banff Caribou Lodge! The staff were exceptionally friendly and accommodating. Our room was cozy—definitely a bit dated, but charming and very on-theme for the mountain lodge style. We did encounter some dog hair in the carpet, but the team was great about working around our schedule to provide an extra cleaning. Since it’s a pet-friendly hotel, it was understandable that a bit of hair lingered afterward. The lobby was lovely with a warm, welcoming scent and a crackling fire that made it feel so inviting. The attached Keg restaurant was very convenient for both breakfast and dinner. The shower products from Rocky Mountain Soap Company were a real treat, and even the water tasted deliciously fresh. Our mini fridge worked almost too well—it froze some of our food, but that was on us for not turning it down! There was no microwave, and the in-room coffee setup was fairly basic. Parking could be tricky at times, as the lot often filled up, but we were always able to find something nearby. Overall, a warm and welcoming stay with wonderful staff and great atmosphere.
