Great rooms w/ heated floors, spaceous washrooms and big fireplaces. Perfect view from the balcony, close to trails and minutes from main street banff. Food could be a little better, but many restaraunts and bars nearby. I recommend this resort for anyone, anytime. Worth the money in my opinion! I cannot wait to go back.
I can't understand the favourable comments about this place. I was there in September 2007. I just had a bad feeling about it as soon as I arrived and tried to get out of my booking without success. Perhaps my room was not one of the deluxe ones referred to by other reviewers, I don't know, but it was shabby and dingy and the furnishings ...

Off the beaten path

This hotel is one of the best in Banff. This was one of the nicest rooms I have stayed anywhere. I would suggest you splurge and upgrade to one the deluxe rooms, with heated floors in the bathrooms!
The lodge is spread out over several acres. Parking spaces are small and can be an issue if you have a large vehicle. The city bus stops right ...

Restauant Regrets
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/18/06
Previewing the menu we were excited about the game choices. We were equally disappointed afterwards. As we were enjoying a relaxing weekend, we were in no hurry and the restaurant wasn't busy.
We specifically told our waiter "Chris" that we were in no rush. He was, even though he told us it would be no problem to take our time as ...

Great place to stay but don't eat here
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/06/06
Great place to stay although a little out of the way. Having a car is a must but the tradeoff is worth it. Quiet and great scenery make for a wonderful retreat. Stayed in a deluxe (average) room which was absolutely wonderful complete with a Wood-burning fireplace and quite spacious. Ask for an upstairs room as soundproofing from upstairs is not ...

This hotel is off the hizzae
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/11/06
It is so good, this would blown anyone away. This hotel must be a nine star hotel and it is close to alot of attractions. Every other hotel is in this hotels grill
The Buffalo Mountain Lodge is a great retreat. You have your privacy, fireplace, a nice walk into town, excellent food at the restuarant. What more can you ask for? It is very clean and the employees are there to please. We have been there three times and will continue to visit the Lodge.

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/03/06
loved everything! we were there for a 3 day vacation and loved the service, location, athmosphere and overall feel! a short 10 minutes walk to downtown Banff, it was great to be closer to the mountain where we enjoyed watching some wild animals in the early morning. The dinner we had in the main dining room was wonderful and the service was ...

We stayed at Buffalo Mountain during the busiest time of year(week after Christmas)and never felt like just a guest. We were treated like Kings by the staff and no request was to large or small. Every night the fire place was cleaned out and new logs and paper were put in place, so all we had to do was strike a match and have a nice fire. They had ...

Loved it, cannot wait to go back. Will be counting down the days until our next visit. Stunning scenery, staff was awesome. And the relaxing was the best I've ever had.
