I loved the stay, my 3 year old daughter cut her leg in the hot tub upon further inspection a lot of the tile was missing on the steps. We had our baggage sent up to our room from the bottom of the gondola and we were told 2 hour max wait it took 5 hours. The room was very small but comfortable for the three of us we woke up in the middle of the night and could barley breathe. I’m not sure why there was a humidifier in the room but realized we needed it the remainder of the stay. I was shocked to walk 15 mins to store my snowboard but did not use it for the fact my daughter was in shock from the hot tub and I was sick from the room or no hydration even though I drank 3 bottles of water. I wanted to upgrade to the loft suite but we decided to go home a few days early for our daughter

3 star hotel with 5 star price.

We got our room for 2 nights skiing holiday and it turned to become terrible expirience. Otherwise hotel looked good, but when we get in to our room with nice view we realized that it was cold and outdated. Only heating was small radiator so we turned that warmer ( all the way up to 30 degree ) but still after heating several hours room stayed cold. With 4 star hotel I assume there would be AC unit so every guest could set temperature as they wish, but managements solution was small space heater ( table version ). Room had a queen size bed, but it was too soft for 2 people to sleep in it without waking up everytime you turn. Also room didn´t have any fridge to keep your soda and water cool. Restaurant and breakfast was good and ski hills were Ok condition. Recommended to stay in town and travel for skiing. Thats best value for your money.

Check in at car park level was swift and easy; thank you Matt. Room was adequate. A bit dated, but its all about location location location and Sunshine Lodge has it sorted! Staff were very friendly and helpful. We ate in the one of restaurants on two occasions. Food and service was excellent. Definitely worth booking a stay in the ski resort. Prices are on par with Banff Town and the resaurant prices are surprisingly cheaper than Banff Town. Would definitely stay here again.

Inconvenient as far as site seeing is considered. We had to wait a long time to go up and down the mountain in the gondola. For summer /fall site seeing best to stay in town. Food selection at the cafe was not good especially for vegan/vegetarian. Rooms are tiny.

Bold letters!! Hotel is on top of a ski mountain. Ride gondolla or car ride 15 min too hotel. So coming and going is not convenient. 2 restauramts at hotel there fine. One is a college bar and other is a fine dining. There is a carryout food option for breakfast thats good for coffee and pastries. Bed was average. View was great on top of mountain. Room attendants great. Staff good. Coming and going into bamf to hike was fine. About 15 min drive to downtown banf were there is more food and dinner options. We just always planned too never return to hotel untill we knew we were in For the night because of inconvience to come and go due to location on top of mountain. They have a nice hot tub so bring swim trunks. We had a good stay just know what ur getting into. Not ur typical resort hotel. Stayed in september

Was a little concerned about having to rely on the gondola or shuttle to the lodge. However it worked well for us. Was nice and relatively quiet. Room was nice. It was nice to literally be able to walk out the door and go hiking. Restaurant was very good. Only negative was having to wait on our luggage to be shuttled down to the bottom of the mountain. We ended up waiting an hour for a 10 minute shuttle.

Unforgettable

This was such a unique experience for us ... the location was beautiful...so so high up in the mountains...the 15 minute gondola ride from where your car is parked to the actual hotel was SPECTACULAR!!! And the breathtaking alpine meadow trails up there were my favorite hikes of our whole Banff trip. Only thing to remember if you're going in summer is they don't have air conditioning in the rooms BUT we were fine with leaving the windows open. Very decent food options and friendly service.

Sunshine Mountain is such a fun place to stay. The staff are amazing; professional, knowledgeable ands very helpful. James was our guide for an interpretive walk and he was a wealth of knowledge. I do suggest getting some type of heater for the staff who have to sit and greet guests after they exit the gondola, it was too cold for them to only have a blanket to keep them warm. thank you

The property was nice and you have to take a gondola up to the lodge. It was both really nice and sort of an annoyance because it takes 20 mins up the mountain to get to your room and if you forget anything, you have to take the same gondola down and come back up which takes about 40 mins on its own. The view was spectacular but the food options were limited and there wasn’t anything to do in the village. The rooms are dated but that’s the theme I guess. But overall it was a good experience.
