A lot of amenities and things to do in this hotel ( hot tubs, cool dip tub, sauna, breakfast?, games, s’mores, etc.) Our upgraded room had a bed on an upper level. No ventilation. We got the room to 20 degrees C,With AC, but up where our bed was it was about 32 degrees C. Could not sleep.

We stayed for three nights and loved it. The room was very comfortable with beautiful views of the mountains. We liked the location; in town, but not in the crowded center; and we really loved the breakfast. The s'mores and hot tubs were also great. We are already talking about planning our next trip there.

The hotel overall was good, but there were a few things that could be improved. Firstly, the parking was confusing. We were under the impression it was free but it is actually $19/night, or free if you can find a spot out back (staff wasn’t even sure if this was overnight parking or not). Second, our room was clean for the most part but there was an item left from previous guests that was left even after our room was prepared prior to checking in. The free breakfast was great. Also be aware this is a bit of a walk from downtown Banff!

Had a wonderful 10 days staying in Banff. Canalta Lodge was perfect for us. Beds very comfortable. Hot tubs lovely and usually not busy. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Hotel was spotless. Bar and breakfast staff great. We would love to stay here again if we visit in the future.
