Top Surprise Corner Hotel Reviews

Hidden Ridge Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The property is situated in an excellent location, offering comfortable accommodations and quality bedding. The staff maintains a high level of professionalism. We highly recommend this place!"

Banff Park Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"I found the hotel to be of a good standard in a Fabulous location. Everything is walkable from the hotel and the underground parking is great. Hotel is currently being renovated which lead to the 4 instead of 5 stars for cleanliness as it's getting a lot of work. Pool hot tub steam rooms all great.i would definitely stay here again."

Canalta Hotel Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was a vibe. The staff were fantastic"

Moose Hotel And Suites

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely loved our 2 night stay! Rooms are comfortable, location is excellent and we loved the lobby with a huge crackling fire! Perfect place to read a book, on their comfy leather couch! We used the hot tub early both mornings before it got busy and it was beautiful and peaceful watching the sun rise. My only negative comment, is that the rooms have no full length mirror, and I'm a girl who likes to check my outfit! Also, some bottled water in the room would be nice."

Hotel Canoe and Suites

8/10 Good

"The property is clean and the staff is professional and friendly. I would definitely stay here again."

Banff Caribou Lodge and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"This is my third time staying here, and I loved it just as much as the first time. The rooms are well maintained, clean, and the beds are great. The communal hot tub with jets + sauna is excellent after a long hike in the mountains. They don’t have a free breakfast included, but they make up for it with the complimentary Roam bus passes. All in all, very happy with what we get in exchange for the price. Looking forward to coming back again."

Otter Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It was great!"

Charltons Banff

10/10 Excellent

"Benefits and discounts on restaurant, bus, and museum. Area is nearby banff downtown. And very accessible. Room is small but clean and cozy. Suggestion: slippers inside the room because the floor is tiled and a little cold with bare foot. Ty"

Brewster Mountain Lodge

8/10 Good

"Great place to stay if you want to be downtown. Very convenient to shopping and eating. Only downside is it was noisy the two nights we were there. The hotel does supply air buds, but still wasn’t enough to drown out the noise in the wee hours of the morning going on outside. Another night the people above us were moving around and talking loud (our room was 2nd floor) til about 3am. Caveat: I am a light sleeper, so if you are too, you may want to consider a place not as close to downtown area. Other than that, the hotel was clean and nice. Very friendly staff 👍"
