Top Downtown District Hotel Reviews

Northwinds Hotel Canmore

10/10 Excellent

"Didn’t spend much time at hotel but front desk were always there and available. Room was clean, nice and comfy. In the evening there was lots of cars but no problem finding parking. Was nice to have a patio door to load and unload luggage."

Moose Hotel And Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic hotel with a great vibe. We. Loved. It. Positives: Close to the main shopping and restaurant scene but at the same time far enough away from the crowds. Super comfortable beds. Very nice hot tub and pool on the top floor which was welcomed after day of hiking. Hotel restaurant is excellent. Staff is awesome. Tip: Book a top floor room. It's worth every penny and you won't regret it. WE WOULD DEFINITELY STAY HERE AGAIN IN A HEARTBEAT!!!"

Hotel Canoe and Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Loved this property! The entire property was immaculate, staff was very friendly and helpful. We liked the location, being far enough away from the main area of Banff town to not deal with the traffic and people, but close enough to walk or hop on the bus right across street. Highly recommend Hotel Canoe!!"
