Top Surprise Corner Hotel Reviews

Banff Park Lodge

8/10 Good

"No room issues. The Buffett breakfast was very disappointing."

Banff Ptarmigan Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We had an amazing stay! The room was very quaint and homey; the bed was comfortable, the showers were nice and included shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the room we were in, the balcony had a few beautiful views (while there was a building next to the view, which is expected considered the hotel is in downtown Banff) with a seating area to enjoy. It is just down the road from a bunch of little gift shops / knick knack shops and many restaurants along the main road. Everywhere we went during our visit was within a 15 minute walk, and the walk included beautiful views and even a few bucks and doe! The only thing was there was no microwave in the room, but the staff was more than happy to accommodate and heat up our food for us! The room did however have a mini fridge and a coffee maker, which was a very pleasant surprise when we first saw the room! Not to mention, the hotel had a hot tub! We had an amazing time soaking, and it had a steam room and sauna included too. A quick piece of information to know too, some rooms have balcony’s that actually face into the building rather than outside, so make sure you read the description well! In summary, the staff were fantastic, and we had an absolutely amazing time; we will be recommending to people looking for a fairly affordable but very nice hotel to stay in for an amazing weekend in Banff!"

Banff Caribou Lodge and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"This was my second stay at the hotel. The first was in 2016. The staff welcomed us as guests. There was a road closure the day we checked in and the staff was extremely helpful in guiding us through the entrance when we called them and guided us to their underground entrance. The front desk staff was kind, helpful and patient. The hotel offers bus passes and 15% discount on gondola tickets. The pool is extremely well maintained and has a spa for massages. The hotel is on Banff Avenue and convenient to all restaurants, breakfast joints, shopping stores, gas stations. There is an enterprise counter which is located by the front desk. Keg is located inside the hotel and is a great dining option. We did not end up dining there but it’s a nice option. The room was a decent sized standard room with 2 queen beds, well heated, decent lighting and the bathrooms were clean, had all amenities mentioned on their website. Overall had a pleasant stay and highly recommended."

Hidden Ridge Resort

8/10 Good

"Good place to stay. A little aged lodges but otherwise good service and you get bus passes for 3 days, a bottle of wine on reception which in our case was a couple dairy milks and crackers (we don’t drink). There’s hot tub as well. If any problem with washroom which we had with an overflowing flush, the service was quick. I know that should not have happened in the first place but things happen with maintenance. Doable."
