Lovely, clean, quiet property. Parking is competitive. The stairs to the second level are dangerous. Shower needs a safety handrail.

The location is perfect. Close to Banff without being in the middle of it. View from my room was priceless. I loved the accessibility to the trails. Wildlife sightings were outstanding. The lodge and my room Matched the mountain vibe perfectly. Great staff, top to bottom. Best burger I’ve ever had. Great work team!! Storme

Buffalo Mountain Lodge was a charming place to stay. I only wish we had booked it for multiple nights! The room had a fireplace and we enjoyed winding down the night in front of it. The order space overlooked Mount Rundle and was the perfect spot for a drink before dinner and a morning coffee. We did have dinner at the Prow and the food and service were great. We also had drinks at the bar after dinner and the bartender was attentive and great. We would love to stay here again sometime and highly recommend everyone to consider Buffalo Mountain Lodge. Even though it's outside of downtown Banff, the Roam transit bus is just a short walk from the hotel and can get you anywhere you want to go. We had previously stayed in downtown Banff and realized this location was a little more to our liking and less busy. Thanks for a great night in Banff!

The beds and the pull out sofa bed were comfortable. I liked that they texted us to check in and see if we needed anything. It was nice to have cleaning service each day as we needed it. Parking was packed- we had to pack aways from our place, that could be improved. Hot tub and bar on site was a plus.
