Buffalo Mountain Lodge
Had an amazing stay here. Will be back again. Room was clean and super comfortable. Downtown Banff is really close by, but you dont feel thats the case. Sunshine is 25 minutes away, which was perfect.

Douglas Fir Resort and Chalets
Room was good. The decor is a little dated but for the price it was good. Having assigned underground parking was great despite how tight the stalls are.
