Not sure why this spot has 1 star review. I stayed here twice already, once in 2022 and then a couple weeks ago. I love how affordable this is and the location. We stayed here because it was slightly cheaper than staying at downtown Banff, despite the extra 20 min drive to this town. Canmore is an awesome small town that has beautiful views, decent food, and great location 20 min south of Banff.
We got a 1 king bedroom that was a decent size. We checked in at the front desk with no issues. There is no door key but you get a code to unlock the door. The room was clean and had all the basic necessities that we need. Parking is free, but it does get packed. We would come back from our morning/day trips and just park our car before dinner, then walk to nearby restaurants. There's a Blake's across the street, Grande restaurant a couple blocks away, and an awesome Thai spot that I recommend a few blocks away. Downtown is about 10-15minute walk. The pretty walking trail is only 10 minutes walk. This lodge doesn't have a gym or pool, but there is a dry sauna. For the price point, totally worth staying here!
There is complimentary breakfast which was nice, but not much options. Just fruit, bread, or muffin, along with coffee and juice. We just grab a couple items in the morning as snack for the day. Tim Horton's is a few min drive, and this lodge is close to the highway.
