Banff Caribou Lodge and Spa
It’s a decent place for the price. The room we had was showing its age and a few missed spots for cleaning but still pretty decent.

Clean but extremely “rustic”. Out dresser was missing 2 drawers, only decaf coffee, pull out was like all other pull outs. Kids had a blast in the pools and attendant there was very nice.
