“The appeal of this Banff Avenue lodge lies in its full-service spa and reputable onsite steakhouse; complimentary transit passes and pet-friendly rooms add value for guests. However, some may find the dated decor and small rooms a drawback, especially given the distance from Main Street. Overall, I'd say it's a mixed bag.”
