Extremely noisy hotel. There were dozens of kids running around screaming at the top of their lungs by 7:00am. There were A LOT of hockey teams here. It’s not a great place to stay if you want rest. The food was disgusting. Had to throw out the sausages and eggs after one bite and went over to Craig’s restaurant next door for a decent meal. The sink was missed in the cleaning and was dirty when we checked in. Front desk staff was nice. Room is a standard room with all amenities.

We are a family friendly hotel who welcomes travelers with and without children. We are also pet friendly and sports teams do visit during most months of the year. I am sorry if you were inconvenienced.

Stayed at the Pocaterra for 2 nights and had a great time! The hotel accommodated our request to have a room near our friends. The waterslide and pool were so much fun although the chlorine seemed really high the second day. The continental breakfast was excellent and always fully stocked. Rooms have been renovated and were great for our family!

We were visiting Banff National Park and were looking for hotels in Banff and Canmore. Being only a short drive away from Banff NP and with cheaper hotel prices, we decided to stay in Canmore. Banff seemed a lot more crowded and a little more expensive. After doing a little research on the local hotels, we decided on the Pocaterra Inn and Waterslide. It was a great decision. We really enjoyed our 3 night stay here in September 2023. It is a very nice property but the rooms were the biggest takeaway. We reserved the Superior King Suite and thought it was a great value for the price. The room was very spacious and very nice; and when you are going to spend 3 nights in a hotel, you do not want it to be small and cramped. Our room had a fireplace and plenty of room to have some space. The front desk was very helpful with dinner recommendations and answering questions. The chocolate chip cookies in the evening were a nice touch. The morning breakfast was included and it was average but with everything else being so nice, that was ok. I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a place to stay in the Banff area. …

An OK hotel, that cost far too much. But, you're paying for the location. Clean and tidy and with helpful staff. Breakfast wasnt anything to get excited about. If you need somewhere to stay then I dont have any complaints about this place.

Thanks for taking the time to review your recent stay with us. I would agree hotel rates throughout beautiful Canmore are high during our busy summer season. Lower rates for the more budget minded traveler can be found at other times.

Pros: Easy check in Free Parking Wood floors in room Cookies and water in the lobby Free breakfast Laundry room You can rent bear spray for free Fireplace in room 25-30 min from Banff town Cons: The fridge didn't cool well Thin walls The pillows are small and uncomfortable. Arrived via a rental car. Check in was easy. The front desk staff was super friendly. The room: I love that they don’t have carpet because it seems cleaner. The room was big. It had two beds. The bedding was nice. we got a free bottle of wine because we booked the room with Expedia. The restroom was clean and spacious. The toiletries offered were great. The soaps were from a local company. Our room had a small fridge and a Keurig. The fridge didn’t cool that well. We did go to go to breakfast a few times. It’s a typical continental breakfast. There were days where they had breakfast potatoes versus hashbrowns. They always had scrambled eggs and a protein. Bagels and toast were available as well. They had a fruit salad, but it was too vinegary for me. I don’t know if they use lime or vinegar to keep the fruit from browning. I would have appreciated fresh fruit instead. In the lobby, you can find water or tea throughout the day. In the afternoons they also put out the best chocolate chip cookies. I really appreciated those cookies after a long hike. I didn’t try out their pool, but it looked fun. I did use their laundry facilities. It was $1.25 for washer and $1.25 for the dryer. You do need coins. the front desk cab exchange bills for you. Parking was on site and free. We never had a problem getting a parking spot arriving around 8 PM at night. Extras: The rent out bear spray for free…

My wife and I stayed here for our anniversary. Even though the hotel was filled with families, we still had a great stay. We had a very spacious and comfortable room on the fourth floor with a private balcony facing the mountains. It also had a large cupboard, small fridge, and microwave. The washroom was large too, with a shower and jacuzzi tub The king-size bed was very comfortable. The only slight issue was keeping the room from being too hot or cold. The location is excellent, close to the highway, and a short drive into downtown. There is plenty of parking, and they offer cookies to greet you in the lobby. The customer service was friendly and helpful, and we took advantage of borrowing bear spray for free upon its return unused. The breakfast had a nice selection, with good coffee with the option of using a mug or takeout cup. However, it was very crowded especially on the weekend. The staff did clean the tables and replenished food quickly. We didn't use the pool or waterside, but families seemed to be enjoying it. We would definitely consider returning to the Pocaterra Inn on a future visit to Canmore.…

I confess, when we first drove up to the Pocaterra, we weren't impressed by what we saw from the outside. Looks can be deceiving, as this is one of the best places at which we have stayed. The excllent staff is friendly and helpful. The room was excellent, with a very comfy bed and great pillows. The breakfast included in the rate is good for families with young children (which we are not) because it's sort of slapdash -- nice coffee, occasionally cold waffles, decent scrambled eggs. Adults wanting something a bit more tasty can find something else around town. It's also conveniently located near downtown Canmore. The only problem getting there is turning left onto the two-lane road. On the other hand, you are on the right side of the street to get up to Banff and Lake Louise. Only two items that kept me from five stars. 1. For a decent-sized place, the parking lot can fill up, leaving you scrambling to find parking elsewhere. 2. There is only one elevator. Other than that, the establishment is very good and I recommend it.…

The room was alright but had a direct view of a grimey ESSO sign. There was something red on the walls in the bathroom I dared not look at it too much. The floor was atleast not carpet which is great as it means it's cleaner. The selling point is the pool and slide which my kids loved. They also have a sauna which we enjoyed. Check in and out was quick and easy. The breakfast was really great with lots of options but was super busy.
