Great lodge in Banff.
We loved this lodge in uptown Banff. It was easy walking distance to downtown but away from the busy areas. Loved the lodge themed spacious room with balcony. Underground secure parking is great.

2 hot tubs and helpful staff!
The best part about the Canalta Lodge is the 2 hot tubs, barrel dry sauna and cold plunge! The decor of the hotel is very cute. Front desk staff are very helpful, especially Mannon and Dan! They were so nice to accommodate a late check out and gave us good recommendations for food. The breakfast wasn't great, oatmeal was watery and eggs had no taste, but the sausage links were good and they had a fun pancake making machine.

Great place to stay-within walking distance to shops and restaurants but enough away that it’s not as high traffic. Little things were really nice-water fill station, nespresso machine in the room with cream in the fridge, games available to play in the cozy lobby. Nice back patio and little bar.

Enjoyed our stay and their staff!
Stayed 5 nights. Great location (close but not too close to the downtown crowds. Roam bus stop very close). Clean rooms and throughout hotel. All of the staff we encountered were very helpful and friendly. Loved the hot tub, sauna, daily smores. Good restaurants across the street. As mentioned by others, the daily breakfast was a little below most chain hotel breakfasts, but adequate and convenient. Wish the underground parking was free or less $. Otherwise, we loved our stay!

Lovely basic + hotel right in Banff, it was a longer walk to "downtown" however friends reported it was much noisier closer to the main area. Breakfast was great, staff were friendly and helpful.
