Had a wonderful experience at the Buffalo Mountain Lodge. The front desk, young lady from England was very friendly and had a great personality. During check in she gave us the great news that we were upgraded to a larger room, which was a very nice surprise. Room was beautiful, clean and comfortable. Staff in the lounge/restaurant were friendly and attentive during happy hour however we went there for breakfast and the server was good at the beginning but when we wanted to leave, we couldn’t find her anywhere to get our bill so had to wait around for a while. Ended up going to the bar and asked for our bill there. Even with that tiny inconvenience, I would highly recommend staying there!!

The rooms are mountain-rustic yet clean and well maintained, and the wood-burning fireplace is a wonderful touch. The staff are genuinely helpful and attentive to even the smallest details. The lounge and restaurant teams are warm and approachable. We had the pleasure of being served by the restaurant manager, Melody, throughout our stay—she made our dining experience exceptional, comfortable, and truly welcoming. She clearly leads by example, as the rest of the staff demonstrated the same outstanding hospitality.

As a local, we love staying on Tunnel Mountain instead of downtown Banff. We were upgraded and the suite was beautiful; I'm sucker for a wood burning fireplace. Love the stainless steel outdoor hot tub. First time staying and will be back. Thank you for the amazing stay!

A quintessential mountain lodge complete with wood burning fireplace (logs included), hot tub and very good on site restaurant and lounge. Great quiet location on Tunnel Mountain but still within walking distance to the town. Friendly staff as well.

We absolutely loved staying at the Buffalo Mountain Lodge! The staff were so friendly and the room was so cozy. The room service was prompt and I really enjoyed how they refilled our fireplace with wood everyday. The only critique I have is the parking was difficult to navigate in the crowded parking spaces. The bus stop was convenient and the property provided free bus passes which was wonderful. I would absolutely recommend staying here if you are looking for a place to stay in Banff!
