Check in and check out as good. The same lady was there and great service. When time to go to bed we pulled back the sheets and there was body hair in them. The lady at the front desk had them changed and personally came to give us breakfast vouchers for buffet. She was kind. The next morning we had brunch and a make server licked ketchup off his finger twice and wiped hand on stack of clean napkins and proceeded to serve the plates to the customers. I was shocked

Picturesque setting and convenient for accessing ski hills. Beds are too soft and pillows are too high so bad for the back. Place was quiet. Staff were friendly.

Beautiful Property with friendly staff

Banff Caribou Lodge is a beautiful property where I felt at home and cared for. The room was very nice and the public spaces were available and nice for reading and relaxing. There was a nice fireplace and area to sit in front of the fireplace. Parking is underneath the building and convenient.

Good hotel, would stay again.

Good hotel, would stay again. Very comfortable mattress, slept well. A few missteps with housekeeping (forgetting things), and one of the desk clerks was somewhat clueless, but otherwise a great stay.
