Great stay. Very clean room, and very helpful staff. Check in was easy, and we got an early check in. The only negative was that the fireplace was out of order, and we were looking forward to it. Not a big deal, still would have stayed anyway! The outdoor hot tub was also amazing. Great stay in the lodges, if you’re looking for a great mountain vibe

Staff were very friendly and welcoming, we especially enjoyed the massive outdoor hot tub. The location is quiet, tucked in a forested area, up the hill from Main Street. If you prefer a quiet room, we recommend requesting the second floor units. We were in a ground floor suite and could hear quite a bit of walking and talking from the occupants above us starting at 6am. The oscillating fan helped create white noise!

I cannot say enough good things about Buffalo Mountain Lodge. Spacious rooms, including a fireplace. Large bathrooms with claw-foot tub. Fantastic. And the staff consistently communicated any issues on the property. Located only about 2 miles from all the shops and restaurants of downtown Banff. Highly recommend!

We were disappointed that we couldn’t have a fire in the fireplace. Also we were surprised the incandescent lightening that was in the room is not energy efficient. The hotel talked about conserving energy yet it had this kind of lighting throughout the room. On a positive we were impressed with the cosy rooms and the outdoor hot tub. 🙂

If your hot tub is to open for 9am and checkout is at 11am, informing guests at 9:05am that the hot tub is still not ready because they need to shovel the snow, and then not having it open until 9:50am is not a good experience.

Absolute perfection, with extra detail to customer service. Amazing staff and the best restaurant in Banff. Don’t bother going anywhere else.
