We have made it a tradition to go to Banff for Christmas and we go there several times throughout the year, always staying at the Bow View Lodge because of its affordable rates without losing out on service or quality. The location is right beside the river that runs through the town and you have a beautiful view of the mountains. A short distance from Banff Avenue, you are central to all you need - Tim Horton's, Starbucks, shopping, hospital and site seeing. The service is much friendlier than some of the upscale hotels we've been to (i.e. Juniper, Inns of Banff, Mount Royal, Ptarmigan and Rundlestone). Sure, those places are newer buildings but what does that matter when reception or dining staff are flippant, seem annoyed, and leave you feeling like you're an inconvenience?? ;)More
