Water Valley Golf & Country Club Tours

This is one of the few self catering properties in Banff and therefore you pay a high premium for it. It promised a lot but unfortunately we were disappointed with the reality. The apartments are attached to a multi-storey car park - separated only by a narrow corridor that you walk along to get to your room. It feels as if you are staying in the car park. That said, there is no allocated parking for the apartments. You have to pay the hourly or daily rate to park. The bedroom was absolutely tiny. We could barely walk around the bed because of the roof lie-in. There were hooks on the wall to hang up clothes - no wardrobe and no drawers to store clothes. Certainly no space to open or store a suitcase so everything had to be kept in the living area. We planned to have friends over for dinner but the dining table was tiny - barely big enough for 2 to have breakfast on, plus having all our luggage, walking gear etc in the living area really wasn’t conducive to entertaining. The apartment fittings and finishing looked ok from a distance but close up, the quality is clearly lacking. The hot tub is on the roof of the multi-story car park with car parking spaces all around the tub. There was red mould in the hem of the shower curtain. The area around the street door was very dirty. This property is way over-priced for what it is.

Loved this condo!! Felt like home with lots of space and comfy beds. Awesome kitchen and grill with a great view. Close to walk to things and two grocery stores near by. Would stay again and definitely recommend!
