This was our first trip to Banff and our first stay at Canalta Lodge. We only had one small issue while we were there and the staff resolved it quickly. We would stay there again. It is a little less than a mile to the other end of downtown so sometimes we walked and when tired we jumped on the bus which was very convenient. Breakfast was good and had a lot of options.

Great property. Outdoor features were really nice and the staff were AWESOME. Walkable to downtown and reasonably priced. Rooms are nothing special, pretty dark (no lights) and can’t open windows for light because there’s no privacy curtains. But otherwise would stay again.

A lot of amenities! Including free breakfast, hot tubs, cold plunge, and sauna. Gym is decent size also. Smores every afternoon. Even though it's the farthest away from downtown, we had a great stay here! Shout out to John at breakfast who worked so hard and the other lady. Sorry don't know her name.
