Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Rundlestone Lodge is often praised for its spacious and clean rooms, some featuring jetted tubs, adding to the overall comfort. Many guests appreciate the convenience of the free bus passes and undercover parking. It's an easy walk to downtown Banff, though some rooms have views facing the parking area or pool instead of the surrounding scenery. The fireplace in the lobby also creates a cozy atmosphere for many visitors.

transit passes complimentary upgrade hot tub operational pool no discount
Clara greeted us with kindness! she ensured we received complimentary transit passes valid throughout our stay. she upgraded our room. It was a loft with a hot tub.
The pool was not operational for our visit, it broke my heart. no discount was offered, no upgrade was available. I wished it was different.

adequate stay with some drawbacks

missing microwave garage view
the undercover parking was useful for keeping the car out of the elements.
the room lacked a microwave I consider this a basic amenity for the price charged and its absence was a significant inconvenience. the room faced the entrance to the garage so there wasn't much of a view

closed pool musty smell
i wasn't happy that the pool was closed. they didn't told me about it beforehand, and i was really looking forward to swim. the room smelled a bit musty, i think they should air it out more often. also, the ice machine on my floor was out of order, so i had to go to another floor for ice.
