Very nice stay in Banff!
4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 16 Nov 2014
We stayed in Buffalo Mountain Lodge in November 2014. We stayed on the first floor of the building, and our room was facing the road - I didn't like it, but at the end it was OK, road was not so busy. The interior was quite dated, but having a real wood fireplace in the room compensated for everything! We made a big fire, and spent an evening by the fireplace. It was cosy and comfortable stay. The bath room was very good and clean, and we loved the outdoor hot tab! Beds were super comfortable. We are planning to come back here next winter...

We had a great stay in Banff. The room was super clean! I am very picky about cleanliness and the layout of the room and the Lodge was perfect. We travelled with our two dogs and they loved it! The fireplace in the unit makes it very cozy and comfortable to hang out in the room as well. Would definitely recommend it for when visiting the area

This was an awesome experience. We were there only one night, Nov 2014, wished we could have had more. We were in the top area of the resort, newer section. Rooms were "upscale rustic" if that makes sense. Lots of stone and wood. Entry and bathroom floors were slate tile and heated. Bathroom had large clawed tub, large corner shower. The room and the bathroom were both spacious. Sleeping area had fireplace. Large TV in armoire. Balcony with gorgeous view of mountain. Beds were very comfortable. Room was clean and well equipped with two chairs and a table in front of the fireplace, a desk.

The owners have obviously taken care to choose decor to match the area and the hotel theme.

Restaurant, Sleeping Buffalo, is fine dining. The food was gourmet. A bit pricey but well worth what you pay for it. Service was top notch.

There are a couple of things to know about this resort and the rooms. The resort lies on a hill and there are a lot of stairs. There may be areas of the resort that are wheelchair accessible, but most of the resort is not. The TV's have an alarm clock feature - ours came on in the middle of the night and woke us up. Here's one thing where maybe staff could check and turn off the alarm feature while re-setting room. The coffee provided in the room is very weak. The coffee in the restaurant is very good, so recommended to go to the dining room for your morning coffee.

All in all, this resort is highly recommended. I've stayed in other places that have been the same price, but much more downscale than you get at this lodge for the price you pay.

Room tip: Different room configurations are available, check with staff as to which ones will work best for you. Not a lot of accessible rooms - lots of stairs. Top of the resort has beautiful wilderness views out their balconies with frequent visits by wildlife.

My husband and I chose this resort for our wedding in January 2014. The staff were so helpful, and helped us to create the winter wedding of our dreams. We only had 10 guests, and we had a very intimate and romantic wedding. The dinner they prepared for us was spectacular, and the service was second to none!

We had a premier room, and the views from the balcony were beautiful! The space was comfortable and relaxing! We loved this hotel and it will forever be our destination whenever we come to Banff!

We love this resort and have stayed numerous times. Near town in a quiet area with easy bus transportation. Several easy trails nearby. Elk and deer frequent the area. Rooms have large stone wood burning fireplaces and some have claw foot bathtubs. Decor is tastefully done like a mountain ski lodge. This hotel has a nice restaurant the Sleeping Buffalo which offers a filling breakfast buffet. A little pricey but good food in a nice atmosphere. The rooms are needing a little refresh and upkeep but still a nice place to stay.

Room tip: Request a mountain view

My fiance and I stayed here for 2 days for her birthday in October. The pictures on their website do not do the rooms justice; they are beautiful and well maintained. Each unit is accessible from the outside and styled like an individual cabin. There is complimentary wood inside the room for your primate fireplace as well as a stockpile outside of the door if needed. The rooms are quiet and during our stay we could not hear anything from out neighbours; if it were not for their vehicles parked outside, we would have sworn we were the only people staying in the Lodge. In addition to the cozy charm of the rooms, the bathroom was insane with stone flooring, a deep claw-leg style bath and a glass enclosed shower. The bathroom in our suite was very spacious and could easily handle 2 people getting ready for a night out in the city.

Across from the Lodge there is a city park that opens up onto some of the mountains in the region. They make for a beautiful backdrop for photos and a truly serene vista to wake up to.

During our stay at the Lodge the staff was accomodating and extremely helpful. The grounds were well maintained and quite popular with local wildlife as on a couple occasions we could see deer eating grass on their grounds.

We loved the Lodge so much, that we have chosen to host our wedding and reception at Buffalo Mountain Lodge next year.

Room tip: Ask for a room on the second floor as this will improve your chances of getting a beautiful view of the mountains. The first floor rooms tend to be surrounded by large groupings of trees and can have an obstructed view.
