I will definitely stay at Canalta again! I liked the uptown location, still lots of options of great places to eat within very close walking distance. It’s the First stop for the sunshine Shuttle. The Complementary breakfast was very good and convenient. Our balcony room was cozy and classy with a view of the mountains and the street. The staff were very nice. Just a great option and value overall.!

Good place with hot tub

Pro: Good place to stay for skiing; the ski shuttles stop here first before making rounds to other stops, so always plenty of seats to choose from. We loved visiting the outdoor hot tub and sauna after skiing, as well as enjoying the s'mores by the fire pit in the afternoon. Hotel is ~15 min walk from town; not the worst when weather is nice, but a bit brutal when it's snowing heavily. No roam pass offered either. Since we have a car, this isn't a deal breaker, but something to keep in mind of. Free breakfast fuels the skiing well. Cons: Hot tubs jets are weak. Continental breakfast is the same everyday: sausage, scrambled egg, potatoes, pancakes, and could use some variation.

Clean, spacious room. Trendy outdoor hot tub area - very beautiful and relaxing but quickly busy during peak hours. Breakfast was excellent with lots of options and a good amount of seating. Enjoyed playing free board games in the lobby with the family. Longish walk to downtown Banff but still walkable, transit is nearby if the walk feels too long. Underground parking was available for $19 and there was free parking in the back but limited and would be hard to find a free spot during busier summer months. Staff was a little nonchalant but were answered my questions when approached and were able to help with an earlier check in which was appreciated! Great hotel overall.
