Disliked: Cleanliness
This was our first stay at Tunnel Mountain and the photos gave the impression that the suites were clean as shown but when we arrived the suite we stayed at had a terrible smell that was only relieved when we aired out the suite by opening all the windows and doors. We also had to buy candles and air freshener to make it bearable. We were only there one night so we just dealt with it. The washroom could use more dusting and the tables needed to be wiped. Overall it’s not the cleanest suite but the location and staff were great.

We had a pleasant stay at Tunnel Mountain Resort. It is a good value for Banff. We slept well and enjoyed the spectacular views right outside our door. We noticed that the kitchen and bathrooms could have been cleaner (e.g., food crumbs on floor and redness in shower). The sauna was clean and pleasant.

Great cabins, great location

This is a great location with helpful, friendly staff. At check in we got a three day bus pass, internet, kindling and firewood. Our pet was treated to a dog bed, bowls, treats and a ball . We had a cabin and the privacy and cleanliness is top notch. The views were spectacular

Decent option for a Banff stay

Decent sized room, clean and comfortable. However, disappointed with a few things: no bathroom fan, no working toaster and blood spots on a bed sheet. The provision of free bus tickets to/from Banff was a bonus.

We did not raise any complaints about the room's condition upon check-in, nor did we request any extra supplies. We left the room clean and tidy, yet you are charging me $77 for toiletries? Eight adults stayed in the room—do you honestly think that a single bar of soap and a few miniature bottles of shampoo, conditioner, and lotion are sufficient? This charge is absolutely unacceptable and unreasonable.
