Overall good experience. Very good service and staff. The only complaint is the noise level from our room. Due to wood structure of the cabin it has a lot of popping noise during night. The mini fridge is way too loud and the heating system is probably one of the most noisy ones ive seen. Make sure you bring your ear plugs.

Great spot but loud on weekends
Booked this hotel to be away from the noise of downtown. The view from the balcony was beautiful, beds were comfortable and the bathroom with separate tub and shower was spacious. We really enjoyed the heated tile floors. Food at onsite restaurant Prow was fantastic and hot tub was nice. Robes are provided in the rooms and rooms were cleaned daily. Only a few negatives, on the weekends parking was tough and parties were going till 3am and with thin walls made it tough to sleep. Booked this to be in a quiet setting. During the week we had no issues. Only a 5 min drive to town, or 15 cab ride. Bus stop was near but we didnt use that options

Nothing but perfect, everything time!
Amazing property! We have stayed here a handful of times over the years and recently stayed in a renovated unit which was wonderfully done! Huge bathrooms and the bedding is always so comfortable! The only downfall was the in-room fireplaces have a starter pack that aren’t meant to burn for long, so the fire was short, but sweet. Great food at the restaurant!!

Early winter getaway.
A group of us went to Banff for the Barra McNeil concert and stayed at Buffalo mountain Lodge. We had a great time. Decorations were wonderful. We were impressed with how well kept the walkways were as it had snowed and could have been treacherous!

We had a special room with a spectacular view. It was quiet and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Housekeeping was efficient and thorough. My only minor issue was being overly warm even with the heating off at night, probably as a result of the type of comforter. Would definitely stay there again.

We had an amazing view of the mountains and sunrise. We enjoyed the hot tub to relax after a long day. Room service is great. Some minor fixing like water from the shower is over flowing from the stall, making the bathroom wet. Sink not draining properly. Over all, we had a great time.

Our stay was very comfortable and pleasant. It was lovely to have access to the fireplace to make s'mores - it really adds to the ambiance of the suite. Having a kitchen helped us save hundreds of dollars on dining out. Check-in and check-out were very smooth. Staff was very welcoming and helpful.

The staff were so nice. Some issues were beyond the staff's control, so in spite of that- the manager stepped in and she was beautiful energy- Incredibly helpful. This is a special place with memories for my mom and I. We are grateful for this gorgeous home away from home.

The front staff that checked us in was rude and very unwelcoming. I don’t leave reviews ever but when you deal with a little racist you must make people aware. The smirk on her face too needs to be checked. Otherwise, the space was immaculate

Wonderful rooms. Make sure when booking if you’re unable to walk any distance to ask for a room next to the lodge.
