Banff Park Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Perfect location for a new family. We had the king suite with day bed. Facility was brand new, newly furnished. Patio doors open up to Lynx street across from bluebird restaurant that specializes in Grilled Steaks. We couldn’t get seating with a baby as bar seats were only available. However it was a 4-5 min walk to the Keg. All stores were open late. People are pleasant to interact with. Did not have time to try out the pool and other amenities but the views were breathtaking. Parking is $14 overnight so we liked that. Overall impressed."
