The staff were incredibly impressive and did whatever they could to make our visit special. We especially liked the gift for our puppy. It's hard to get better scenery than in Banff. We would certainly go back again at first opportunity.

Large room with kitchen, clean & comfortable. Nicely located within Banff with mountain view and walking trails. Friendly staff. Free bus tickets to town is a bonus because Banff parking is expensive. Highly recommended for families.

Staff was polite and check-in was quick and easy. The room was spacious, comfortable and clean. The in room coffee supplied was not good and the tv viewing options were very limited. It was really nice having the kitchenette. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

We absolutely loved our week long stay at the Tunnel Mountain Resort! Wifi was STRONG - my parter and I work remote and had little to no issues with being on meetings at the same time and getting our work done. The kitchen was small but had most of the essentials you'd need to cook dinner every night. We honestly thought it was funny that we had no idea how beautiful the views were from the resort. I didn't stalk the website photos outside of the ones of the rooms, so the stunning mountain views were a nice little surprise on top of our stay. We brought our dog so the trails being nearby were an added bonus to walk him around. 10/10 recommend visiting, we will for sure be back!!

The amenities were pretty bad. The pool was small and a bit cold and the space was really outdated and looked in desperate need of some upkeep. And it was really inconvenient that the pool was in a separate building than the steam room and sauna. The parking lot was also absolutely packed the first night and really narrow.
