    Hot pool and views
    Sara B.

    Very pleased with my stay at Hidden Ridge! Things to note: -The hotel is a 30 minute walk from downtown Banff. Walking downtown is easier (downhill). If you don't want to walk there is a free shuttle that comes once an hour. -Plenty of parking onsite -A heated pool. Great views of the mountains from the pool area, and really just the whole hotel area in general (perks of staying on the actual mountain and not downtown). -All of the rooms are condos and have a living room and kitchen. I'd suggest stocking up the fridge a bit - the hotel has no food or drink and the closest place to get it is downtown. -Rooms are clean and spacious, just a bit outdated. -No AC in the room, but this was never really an issue. It gets pretty cool at night and the room had a large fan. -250/night rate in the middle of summer season. This price is similar to what we saw downtown, so if you'd rather be in the thick of things you can pay a similar rate to do that. Although we wished we were closer to the bars and restaurants we really enjoyed our stay up in the mountains. You definitely can't find a hot spring pool with mountain views at any of the downtown hotels, that's for sure. If you are feeling more of a rustic vibe during your Banff visit then I highly suggest posting up at Hidden Ridge for a few days. You'll enjoy it!

    Filthy switches. All of them are like this.

    One of the worst hotels we have ever stayed at. The owner, management and staff care absolutely nothing about hospitality. They care solely about squeezing as many pennies as possible out of every guest. The rooms are run down, from extreme mildew and black mold in the bathrooms, to abhorrently filthy wall switches, to a broken stove top, to towel racks falling off the wall, to dangerously broken wall outlets, etc., etc. (see photos) This "resort" is listed as having daily room cleaning. This is a scam. It's not until after your first night staying here that you find out, via a note left by housekeeping, that there is no daily cleaning. They claim to clean the room on the third day of your stay, but that does not happen either. They claim to provide cleaning supplies, but none were provided during our 4 day stay. They leave 2 dishwasher detergent tabs under your sink and never replenish them. We had to call the front desk to ask for everything. There are cleaning supplies such as paper towels or cleaning rags or spray cleaner. They merely replace your towels. That is all. They claim to make the beds, but look at our photos to see how this goes...absolute worst housekeeping of all time. Hot tub closes over an hour before it's even dark outside. Staff is incredibly rude. They yell at guests for driving "the wrong way" through the property, despite the 100% absolute lack of any indication that the road is one-way. There are zero arrows, signs or anything posted or painted to indicate that the road is one-way. Laundry facilities are extremely filthy, tiny (2 old, run-down washers for a large complex) and extremely overpriced. It cost $20 to do 2 loads of laundry. This "resort" is an extremely loud party mecca on weekends. Every bachelor, bachelorette and birthday party from Calgary seems to stay here on weekends. I wouldn't send my worst enemy to Hidden Ridge "Resort"

    I was hesitant to book with Hidden Ridge given it's owned by the same group that operates the Inns of Banff, but I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of my stay there. The only disadvantage is no free ski shuttle, although there is bus service to downtown. As a guest free bus passes are available; we tried taking the bus but it was running late and I was freezing so we opted to drive into town instead. The staff was friendly and the condo in great condition, much better than average for a decent price and a good package (ski passes, breakfast items provided in fridge). The bed was comfortable, and we got to enjoy breakfast company of a doe each morning. The grounds are lovely. Very regrettably we did not get a chance to enjoy the hot tub although it looked fabulous. A little home away from home, I wish I owned the condo! Our neighbours upstairs were a little noisy at times, but overall the sound proofing in the place is acceptable. Parking was sometimes a challenge, if there's no above ground parking left it can be a little tricky to manoeuvre a large truck in the underground parking. It looks like they were making more spaces down there so here's hoping it will improve. Maybe they should consider designated parking spaces in front of condos where people are staying, instead of someone having to park way at the bottom and drag all their luggage, ski equipment etc. up the hill to where they're actually staying because someone else is parked in the spots in front of the condo. We'd love to come back with a group of friends for a ski trip next year!

    This is a great place to stay! We came here to go snowboarding at Sunshine the next morning, and it was really close. It was also close enough to downtown. You need a car to get there but it was still convenient for sure. We stayed in a three floor cabin. Two bedrooms and one bath downstairs. A full kitchen, living room on the main floor. And a king size bed, with bathroom loft on the third floor. There were enough TVs everywhere as well. It was just really cozy, clean, and comfortable. Definitely didn't feel like I was staying at some hotel at all. We made ourselves at home immediately. The garage is a few steps away so it was close enough that we didn't need to trek out into the cold for too long.

    My dog loved the bed they supplied

So he drove us into Banff NP. We stopped at Lake Louise, Johnston Canyon, Vermillion Lakes, the cascade falls, and then we began driving to the Fairmont Banff Springs Hotel. What an absolutely beautiful hotel in one of Nature's most breathtaking masterpieces. The beautiful earth-toned cream colored hotel climbs from the lower mountain side and stands beautifully amongst the tall pines surrounding it. We made our way to the Vermillion Bar, where are post worked back in his college days, and were greeted by a super sweet server, Ayala, who lit up whenever she laughed and smiled with you. We enjoyed cocktails, beef, tartare, veggie Credit, charred, avocado, and a unique presentation of hot wings I've never had before - the actual wing that has two bones in it was pre-cut down the middle so you were served the 2 halves as their own individual wing. Great flavors and it was very unique and enjoyable. All of it was delicious and undeniably yummy, and fairly priced for such an elegant location. We were expecting a much higher price point and were delightfully surprised to see that even though it is a luxury location, it was not price gouging or ridiculously inflated that one often finds in so many other locations that are "elegant or nice". If you have the opportunity to treat yourself to a very beautiful sunset under the majestic Mount Rundle, and want to enjoy a modern setting in a historic landmark, this is absolutely a visit you must make while in Banff National Park. Thank you Ayala for treating us so well, and sharing your sweet Australian journey with us. Chris, David, Trisha, and Keith

    Hi-ya! Moose suites…read morewas a great hotel. It's super clean, good staff and next to the Roam transit and shopping areas. When you first walk in the lobby check in area is next to the large sitting area with a big fireplace that is hot enough to warm you but not make the place uncomfortable. The rooms are very well maintained and so are the walkways, fitness center, sauna, jacuzzis (2 large ones) and pool. The restaurant that is nothing the hotel we didn't eat at, but I ordered and old fashioned and it was good and strong, but no black cherry, but that was fine. The sauna was so clean and it felt great to warm up more in the mornings and relax in the jacuzzis after a hike in the evenings. The jets were powerful and the views from that area overlook the the mountains and the gondola an Norquay. This hotel was great, only one thing really, the laundry room at 2 washers and 2 dryers which were of good quality, but one was down. We stayed here for 6 days and i thought that was a good amount of time without it becoming too day to day feeling. 5 stars because we had a great time there AND they provided loaner bear sprays for all of us. I don't know if they can do it for everyone, but that saves you at lease 35 bucks for each spray that you can't take back in the flight if you do t use (and don't check bags). That was an amazing food convenience.

I guess I'm not Canadian, and I got used to it, but having a bit more wind protection on the exterior walkways would have been nice - or warmer robes.... Not an issue in summer and not a huge deal in winter but worth knowing. 2) Restaurant isn't great. Mid level chain place. Much better options in town. Staff great loved the spacious rooms and ski lockers.

You can probably ask them to bring it down for you but to save time upon check-out we brought the luggage down a flight of stairs. The room is spacious for two with the king bed. The bed, pillows, and comforter were plush. Slept easily every night. The view from the room is gorgeous especially with snow. I love how the lamps are step-on to turn on. The outlets are also easily accessible. The bathroom is a decent size. There's a clothesline in the shower you can use if needed. I like how the shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion, and hand soap were from a 1% for the planet brand. There's a shuttle to downtown and back. Pick up and drop off is always at IGA which is easy to find. You just need to call or let the front desk know when you need the shuttle. I needed post cards to go out and was able to leave them with the front desk. If they get your outgoing mail during the week then it will go out the following week.

They also have a sauna outside too. They offer free S'mores every day for happy hour, and supplies so you can roast your marshmallows by the fire pit outside. Lots of seating outside and I really enjoyed sitting outside and reading. They also offer board games to play and have a lot of indoor and outdoor seating, so many options of where you can be. They have a full bar with a nice selection. Delicious happy hour wine deals! I love their red wines. The food is really good here too. They have a really nice breakfast buffet and it's included with your room. Pancakes, eggs, sausage, yogurt, juices, pastries, and more. The bar serves snacks and other food throughout the day and evening. I really enjoyed their charcuterie board. So fresh and delicious. Our room/suite was very spacious. Two queen beds and a living room area with a sofa and fire place. The beds were pretty comfortable but not amazing. We had a microwave and refrigerator, and I loved the espresso machine. We also had a dining table. The bathroom had lovely shampoo, conditioner, and body wash from a local company. My only suggestion is that I wish we had more storage options to unpack our clothes. There were some hangers to hang a few items and there was 1 drawer in the nightstand. I wish we had a dresser. Excellent and friendly staff. I really enjoyed the vibe of this place. I would definitely stay here again.
