I liked the access to the canyon, the food and the very interesting cabins. The market place should be open at 7 am for take away. The patio needs lights and the dining room should be open until 11 pm I'd like postcards and art prints of the canyon and the bungalows

The cabin was sparkly clean, the front desk staff were extremely friendly and helpful, and the location couldn’t be any better. The most personal touch was that they left a welcoming note and a bottle of wine on the dining table before our arrival. We loved the experience and looking forward to going back.

Relaxing

First time staying here. The cabins are old, but very well kept and add to the charm. We loved the little porch and spent a lot of time sitting there, even saw a fox go by. It’s quiet and away from the noise of people visiting the falls. Parking right at your cabin, easy check in/out. We ate supper outside at the restaurant and quite enjoyed it.

Can hike out the door,beautiful area,liked check in staff member, nice cabins, loved bus service to town,wine,had an issue with hot water for the shower in the morning,and didn't get a parking pass to board the morning bus which was not a huge deal. I tried to help clean up the Johnston Canyon trail which was more a parks staff responsibility. Overall, nice vintage place surrounded by wilderness.

We loved how quaint our little cabin was and how it was next to Johnston Canyon. We liked how easy it was to get to other Banff sites as well. The restaurant on-site was delicious with very friendly staff. We were provided 3 free breakfast vouchers because we stayed 7 days, which we appreciated very much. We do wish that there was a discount for eating at the restaurant when you're staying on the property as we found food in Banff to be very pricey compared to a big city like Toronto where you have more options. (Think $12-$19 for a sandwich).

Loved the peaceful atmosphere of the cabin. We were upgraded to a working fireplace which was fun and welcomed with a small bottle of wine. Loved having two adirondack chairs out front to soak up all the beauty. Hotel has nice shop, coffee shop and decent restaurant. Loved being able to hike to the falls that everyone else was bussing to.
