We had a nice stay at the Bow Lodge. We were in Banff for a night and it was nice to be able to stay so close to the main area and have easy parking. We were able to walk along the river before heading out which was a nice way to start the day!

Pictures on your site don’t show exactly how it is. We arrived after dark. Staff not knowledgeable, rooms are very outdated for the price, but were clean. The Banff area is very expensive, but for what we paid, I would have gladly paid more to stay in an updated facility and room.
