Even though it was free, the place was pretty much empty. The first building you see right off of the parking lot is the gift shop. You'll want to walk up the hill if you have questions about the place and this is where the cave and other parts of the experience is. You can probably do this all within 30 minutes. It's not very big, but there are other trails you can explore if you want. It's pretty neat that these snails are exist here and they are so tiny that you will have a hard time seeing them. Overall, it's a nice clean place, but doesn't really add much of an experience IMO. I would have been upset if I had to pay for entrance.

The resort is very mountainous looking resort on the outside, in fact very inviting. This location is on the outskirts of the busy Canmore Town. With hiking trails to town or by the river. The staff very friendly and accommodating upon checkin. There is 2 levels of underground parking for guests. Upon arriving to our suite as we entered it was like entering a apartment full kitchen with counter seating for 4 and huge table, 2 bedrooms, 2 huge bathrooms, washer and dryer, living room with fireplace, a balcony with BBQ. Looking over the courtyard and pool. Considering how full this resort was with guests, it's very quiet inside the unit. There is a cafe connected to the resort called Black Dog Cafe. Note: stay away it's very over priced below par food with very slow service. Better off going to Tim Hortons down the road for half the price and fresh hot breakfast. There is a cute Deli called Bohemian smoked meat Czech Deli across the street highly recommend! Freshly made sandwiches and soups. In the Garden centre of all places is a Tea house with gourmet Japanese breakfast or Lunch made fresh everyday called Wagashi. This resort is very well situated amongst the mountains and away from town. Will be back in the future had a fantastic stay.

The accommodations, ambience and service were quite lovely. The restaurant on site offers delicious food and we loved our breakfast there!

Our stay was unfortunately overshadowed by a serious incident involving our room and personal…read morebelongings. After spending our first night at the hotel, we left on our second day to explore the Canadian Rockies.  When we returned around 8:00 PM, our room key no longer worked. Upon speaking with the front desk, we were informed for the first time that we had been moved to a different room. We had received no phone call, email, text message, or any other notification regarding this change. Naturally, we were upset and concerned, assuming we would now have to move all of our belongings because our original room had been reassigned to another guest. A staff member accompanied us to the new room where we discovered that hotel employees had already packed and moved all of our personal belongings without our knowledge or consent. The situation became even more concerning when I requested access to our original room to retrieve our passports from the safe. When we entered, the safe was open and the passports were gone. Learning that hotel staff had accessed our safe, handled our passports, and moved all of our personal belongings and valuables under management authorization without informing us was deeply unsettling. The front staff eventually found our passports, and luckily none of our valuables were lost. No matter how beautiful the property is, guest privacy, security, and trust should be non-negotiable. Having our room changed without notice, our belongings moved without consent, and our passports removed from a safe left us feeling that our privacy was not respected. For that reason, I cannot recommend this hotel and would not stay here again.

Located just downstream of Banff; Canmore is a more affordable option for tourists who don't want…read moreto pay the Banff premium. There's a grocery store in the form of Safeway in the area, which is great. There is also a fairly low key / sad town center area which pales in comparison to Banff; 10% of the visitors and not much to do. Canmore isn't cheap either; for a week long Air BnB, the daily costs were still $300-400 CAD for something fairly basic. There's also limited nature options in the area that you can explore for "free", most of the hikes require an additional paid pass for visitors outside of the town. The parking situation for any hikes in the immediate Canmore area requires another pass in addition to the Canada National Parks pass; this is a pain for non-locals. We pretty much drove to Banff daily for activities and just came back to Canmore to sleep.

Great vibes and they were playing the World Cup on a lot of TVs! I enjoyed my Wild game burger (a mix of regular ground beef, elk, and bison), replacing the swiss cheese with Canadian cheddar.
