We had a great stay in the mountain cabin with my toddler and husband. It was great to have a kitchen and a real fire (and free firewood!). We didn’t use the free bus passes but loved that they offered it.
It’s not quite walking distance to town (maybe in the summer?) but really close by car.
Our studio room had an issue so they upgraded us on the first day (no charge) to a two story cabin!! It was fantastic and made the trip amazing! We have been here twice and will definitely come back again! Clean amazing resort. Great staff. Thank you James!
The cabin is perfect for families with small children! You get to experience nature with the comforts / amenities of a hotel. You will need a car to run errands or grab food as it’s not an easy walk to the town centre.
This is the best place to stay with a large dog! Rooms have lots of extra floor space for them and the full kitchen makes staying in (dogs can’t be left unattended) so much more enjoyable!
Staff is amazing and accommodating, rooms are clean and perfect for a little getaway. Only downside is the pool area isn’t the greatest in Banff. If the pool were heated, I think it would be better, but otherwise absolutely love it here and we’ll be coming back for sure.
The staff were incredibly impressive and did whatever they could to make our visit special. We especially liked the gift for our puppy. It's hard to get better scenery than in Banff. We would certainly go back again at first opportunity.
Large room with kitchen, clean & comfortable. Nicely located within Banff with mountain view and walking trails. Friendly staff. Free bus tickets to town is a bonus because Banff parking is expensive. Highly recommended for families.
Staff was polite and check-in was quick and easy. The room was spacious, comfortable and clean. The in room coffee supplied was not good and the tv viewing options were very limited. It was really nice having the kitchenette. Overall we enjoyed our stay.
We absolutely loved our week long stay at the Tunnel Mountain Resort!
Wifi was STRONG - my parter and I work remote and had little to no issues with being on meetings at the same time and getting our work done.
The kitchen was small but had most of the essentials you'd need to cook dinner every night.
We honestly thought it was funny that we had no idea how beautiful the views were from the resort. I didn't stalk the website photos outside of the ones of the rooms, so the stunning mountain views were a nice little surprise on top of our stay.
We brought our dog so the trails being nearby were an added bonus to walk him around. 10/10 recommend visiting, we will for sure be back!!

The amenities were pretty bad. The pool was small and a bit cold and the space was really outdated and looked in desperate need of some upkeep. And it was really inconvenient that the pool was in a separate building than the steam room and sauna. The parking lot was also absolutely packed the first night and really narrow.
