“Second time, will be back for a third.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 February 2012

person found this review helpful

We love this hotel. The loft room is wonderful for our family, it doesn't feel like a hotel.
There is only one draw back to the hotel. The parking. The underground parking is great, however there are those that take advantage of this perk. We visited in 2011, and found people parking in two spaces. This visit we found the same thing happening. If we can park our 2008 Yukon XL in between the yellow lines....so can you. We got the last spot one evening and noticed there would have been more if people had parked better. A couple cars that entered after us had to leave for street parking. I really hope that the hotel does something to deter this. Perhaps a fine? Room numbers on the parkade pass, and someone checking the lot for offenders?
We will be back next year

Thanks for your review. We will often contact those that are double parked, asking them to 'move over' and make space.

I'm very happy to hear you enjoyed your stay with us, and look forward to welcoming you back next year.

“Nice suites!”

Stayed here in Feb 2012. Suite rooms are very spacious with nice loft. Very friendly front desk staff. Would recommend.

Minor issues: bathrooms are a bit small. Parking spots are also narrow.

Room Tip: Away from the courtyard which is open to the pool..... since the pool is open to the air, it can get...

“Christmas at the Fox”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 February 2012

person found this review helpful

We loved the hotel. Stayed there for 3 nights for Christmas from 23-26. Had reservations and arrived late the first night and had the standard room booked. Found the standard too small and inquired the following morning about upgrading. Wow for a minimal charged we upgraded to the Superior Room which was almost 3 times the size. With the Superior Room we enjoyed having the bedroom separated from the living room and the fireplace was nice.

Heated parking was a nice touch on those cold mornings.

Minor peeve with the free breakfast - add eggs and bacon and both of us would be happy. Then again why complain as FOX is one of the few hotels offering free breakfast

Absolutely no complaints about the hotel itself. Highly recommended and will be back.

Room Tip: If you are a couple with lots of luggage and want space, skip the standard room and go with the supe...

Thank you for taking the time to post your review. I am delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay with us. The small fee we charge to upgrade is well worth it, if you are looking for added space. Our suites are roomy, well equipped and comfortable. I hope you can make the trip west again in the near future. Perhaps you will visit Banff in the summer next time? We would love to welcome you back at anytime, and Banff is always beautiful, regardless of the season!

“A holiday of a lifetime!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 January 2012

people found this review helpful

The hotel was a dream. The staff in hotel and restaraunt were all very helpful and friendly. It was very clean and looked amazing. The breakfasts were fantastic and also the meals in Chillis. We parked our car in the underground car park and as it snowed every day it was very useful. We toured around in our hire car visiting the ski resorts and Lake Louise, Johnstons Canyon to name but a few. New Years eve in Banff Ave was very cold but amazing.
The pool and sauna were great especially after a day of skiing. Fantastic.
