Our family enjoyed staying here close to Banff. Communication with the host was easy. There were two very nice grills, outdoor seating area and fire pit right outside the door. Our unit was on the first floor but would be difficult for someone with mobility issues to access. We would stay here again for sure!

The accommodation was fine but definitely showing some age. Check in was contactless. Recieved a text from staff seeing how everything was in our 1st hour of arrival. Responded that there was issues with the toilets. I tried calling the number no answer. 3 hours latter i got a call back.seeing if we would survive. No effort or offer to back things better. And then in the morning there was a drone flying around the property at the height of the upper windows. Which was concerning considering the windows in the showers have no covering.

Perfect, family friendly big and best priced
This is the best deal for your money. Location is very convenient 5 min from downtown Canmore and just before the Banff park gate. I find all condos much bigger than what you would get in Banff or Canmore for the same money. I stayed in several apartments at Boundary Lodge and all are very well equipped. I highly recommend this place for any season. This is our favorite place to stay at on our ski trips.

Adequate
When we arrived on Saturday, the unit smelled like smoke. I advised them, they said they would follow up with their manager on Monday?it says everywhere it is a non smoking unit. We opened all the windows to try to air it out. The unit itself was clean and adequately appointed. The unit is self check in/out. No front desk or staff on property. That was fine, communication was good. I was quite surprised for the price that they also expected you to load the dishwasher, turn it on, and collect all the garbage and deposit it in the bins outside? Unusual expectations. I am aware many hotels have reduced service because of Covid, but I don’t believe that is the case here.

Very accessible going to and from Banff. Staff was considerate- we were able to check in early since we are already on site and our suite is ready. Kitchen utensils are complete- extra towels, pillows and blankets are in the room. On the other hand, in one of the rooms you can hear the vehicles. Also, extra waste bags can be handy next time as we are a big family. Overall, the suite is spacious and very private.
