Best Western Plus Siding 29 Lodge

My two largest complaints are that the beds are very firm and the common areas all feel very small. Outside of that, this is a fantastic hotel, albeit with a price that reflects that. Conveniently located just outside of downtown Banff, the entire town is easily walkable, but the hotel location itself is quite quiet. The staff are friendly and helpful, the rooms are spacious and well equipped (though the bathrooms feel like they need a bit of a refresh). Also, the hotel is very pet-friendly! less

This was our first time staying at this location. Being one of the less expensive accommodation options in Banff, we were a bit concerned about what it would be like, but we were pleasantly surprised all around! The location is great. Right on the main street in the town of Banff. Gorgeous view of the mountains from where we were, a spacious balcony with a table and two chairs and since we were on the top floor, our room had a vaulted ceiling which made the room feeling much larger than a standard hotel room. The decor of the room was modern and bright. The beds were comfy, the tv was modern and had a sanitized remote provided. Our room had two queen beds, a table with two chairs, microwave, fridge, desk and wardrobe. The bathroom wasn't huge or fancy, but was very clean, all in working order and had a bathtub/shower combo. The breakfast was above and beyond our expectations for a free breakfast. It included lots of hot food options (scrambled eggs, bacon, pancakes and delicious hashbrowns), self-serve toast, yogurt, fruit, cold cereal and hot cereal. It also offered several kinds of juices, as well as milk, coffee and teas. It was tasty, filling and a great way to start a day in the mountains! My daughter loved the pool and hot tub area, which had long operating hours and lots of space. All the staff we encountered were all very friendly and helpful. Overall, we had a great stay here. We plan on trying to book it again for our next weekend escape. It exceeded all of our expectations, while not being unreasonably priced. less

The location is a bit further away from the center but is only about 15 minutes walk and quick access to the main road. There is a keycard controlled underground parking to accommodate vehicle under 6ft. We check in this hotel for one night with family and the experience was beyond expectation. The room was clean (no dust on countertop) and guest supplies were well stocked, sufficient for the number of people checked in without having to run to the front desk for extra towels, shampoo etc. We had a good size room that fitted all our luggage/backpacks; spacious workspace that fitted my 17' laptop with extra space. The breakfast room was crowded due to its size; the hotel was also at a full capacity on the day we checked in. However, they had no issue of us bringing the food to the room (We cleaned up after ourselves). The arrangement of the counter allows people goes in one file, one direction. I like this arrangement. Standard selection of breakfast items served: bread, muffin (not prepackaging type), hot breakfast such as waffle, sausages, scramble eggs and hashbrown. There are also varieties of cereals and fresh fruits. Condiments are well stocked at all time. Check out was a breeze. We make use of the express check out and they are handled within half an hour after we left the premises. I know because I received notification and my account had been adjusted accordingly. I will definitely come back for my next stay! less
