"Everything is great. Beautiful hotel, amazing staff!"

Brewster Mountain Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed at Brewster Mountain Lodge 6/20/26 to 6/25/26. Overall it was a very nice experience and I would happily stay there again. The good: - The location is very central in the town of Banff, easy access to anything - The rooms were very clean, the bed was comfortable, and I really enjoyed the patio - it was nice after a long hike to just sit on the patio and relax - The staff were very helpful and friendly - The availability of a complimentary hot breakfast every morning was a very nice surprise - Communication before my trip was great - I got texts and emails ahead of time about road construction workarounds, options to upgrade my stay (more on that later) The bad (and these are little things!): - the elevator broke down during my check in and I had to haul my bags up the stairs (they did offer to help me though!) - limited underground parking. They did offer in a text pre-trip to upcharge me a small amount for "guaranteed parking". I'm glad I did, because I was told at check in that the parking was otherwise full - The underground parking was very narrow - I'd recommend renting the smallest vehicle you can get away with. I had a VW Taos, and getting in and out was very tight. Not unique to Brewster, I've had similar experiences with other places in the Banff/Canmore area - my room faced Bear Street, and it could get noisy when I was trying to sleep. Not a bother to me, but if you're noise sensitive pick a room facing a different direction Overall very happy!!"
