“This lodge strikes a rare balance in Banff: it's both welcoming to dogs and stylishly put together. I especially appreciate the courtyard oasis; an outdoor fireplace really extends the season. Its location provides a bit of breathing room from the downtown crowds, and the locally-sourced café is a genuine treat.”

Acceptable Stay with Disappointing Room Issues

piping noise
I stayed in a room where the noise from the piping was constant. This was annoying. I noticed the carpet needed a deep clean, because my socks got dirty quickly.
