Very clean, no litter, no chewing gum on footways, pedestrians have right of way crossing roads, what can one say that is bad about the place! All very clean and well presented, staff in shops, pubs, all willing to please More

Went there for Banff School and really enjoyed the place. There were a lot of renovations and construction work that made it a bit tricky to get around. Food is pretty good at the restaurant and the service is fine. More

Take in the Banff Film and Book festival. What an experience. The place is remarkable not just for the structures but the people who inhabit the place. Take it in. See an exhibit, go to a concert. Round out your Banff experience. More

What a great place to spend the day! A great pool and hot tub. The women's locker room is absolutely beautiful as it has recently been redone. It even has a bathing suit dryer!

Went to the Vistas restaurant for dinner on a friend's recommendation. Extremely expensive (almost $40) for mediocre buffet-quality food. Go for lunch as I hear the view is quite nice but skip the dinner. More
