The front desk people were really friendly and polite. We were able to enjoy our stay with no issues or noise. The view was amazing to look at in the morning especially with our room service breakfast which was included with stay. I definitely will stay there the next time I’m in Banff! Thank you so much for you kind costumer service. :)

We were pleasantly surprised with our stay at A Bear and Bison. Our room was very cozy, with its gas logs and soaker tub, but what put it over the top was the breakfast delivered to our room! I had expected a standard hotel breakfast served in their common area. Instead they brought a French press of coffee (could have requested tea), and a delicious 3 course breakfast of fruit, muesli/yogurt and a delicate eggs Benedict. It was a lovely way to start the day! Highly recommend!
