Banff High Country Inn Booking Reservations, Reviews, Information

Although we made our reservations quite some time ago we had a main floor room with a view of the driveway into the underground parking. There was a little balcony that you could not open the door to (probably for security - the screen looked like it had been cut). Not that there was anything to look at from this vantage point. The front desk staff was somewhat indifferent saying only what needed to be said. No one smiled or greeted us when we came in. Our biggest beef was with the breakfast facilities. Self serve with one person trying to look after keeping the food, cutlery, plates, and napkins filled. At the cereal station there was cereal spilled all over the place with no bowls and/or spoons at any given time. Dirty dishes were to be piled up on the side and a bucket of probably once sudsy water was there for you to drop your cutlery into. The atmosphere was tacky to say the least and set the tone for our whole stay. The only plus is the location as it was a quick walk to downtown and I beleive the housekeeping was quite adequate as far as the rooms are concerned.

I thought it was on the expensive side. But you're paying for the location because it's within easy walking distance to all the shops and restaurants. A basic continental breakfast is included in the price. Rooms were clean and comfortable and parking is under the building and secure. The room had a small balcony but faced busy Banff Ave. An elevator was availabe, but was small and cramped when using the cart to and from the garage. If you like more of a city feel, this would be a good choice.

Stayed at the High Country Inn and it was very comfortable. They offer free breakfast and have a great swimming pool for the kids. We'll stay again for sure.
