Great Location in Banff

Great option if you want to stay in Banff. Location is perfect and an easy walk into downtown Banff. Breakfast buffet was excellent and the common space was inviting and relaxing. I especially enjoyed the outdoor area with firepit and hot tubs. Would stay here again.

Loved, loved, loved Canalta! Spacious, well maintained rooms with a wonderful shower! We had a balcony with a door and two windows that opened. It was fantastic to be able to open those windows at night to let in the fresh mountain air. The staff was wonderful. And, bonus, there are free snores each evening from 4-7! The location was fantastic-just a few minutes from downtown. I highly recommend Canalta!
