Great Resort!

Tunnel Mountain Resort was in a perfect location just outside of town. They offered free shuttle tickets to get into town.

Perfect for the family and great location

Great location! Bus passes included to get around Banff. Roomy for a family with three kids. Definitely recommend.
Margaret, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I enjoyed my stay at Tunnel Mountain Resort. The location is peaceful, though a bit farther from Banff centre. The suites are older, but very well maintained and comfortable. I was disappointed they didn’t include a bottle of wine for Silver members through Hotels.com, but overall it was a quiet, excellent value—and I’d stay again.
1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff were super friendly and helpful, rooms were nice and clean. Location was perfect, outside of the downtown noise, but close enough to easily walk, or take the transit. Bus stop was right out front and a free pass for local transit routes was given to us upon check in. Our only complaint would be that the parking lot was a bit narrow. We have a truck and getting out in the morning was a bit tricky when the parking lot was full
Amanda, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Awesome large rooms with everything you need, wood burning fireplace was fantastic, kids used the pool and the scenery was amazing!
Justin, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

We stayed for 5 nights whilst visiting Banff. There is a bus stop outside the resort to go downtown, and reception provided us a bus pass to use. Overall the room was very comfortable, although the kitchen did lack some basic cooking items, but we got around that.
Tracey, 5-night trip

Great customer service. I’m very clean.
Richard, 4-night trip

Blending with the nature.

The location is amazing. All surrounded by mountains. Very much blended with the nature. Nice kitchen. Big rooms. The air conditioner was blasting off like other hotels. Very eco friendly.

Kristen, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Neat comfortable motel 2 km from Banff Avenue

This is a nice tidy motel (not a resort) located 2 km from the centre of Banff on Tunnel Mountain Road. The rooms are comfy though slightly dated and the kitchenette is well-stocked should you want to eat in. Small children's playground and BBQ area. Indoor pool is quite nice and next to reception. Laundry is in the basement of one of the buildings, only available from 8 a.m each day, and not super-convenient. All in all, a good choice in Banff given the prices at most hotels, but definitely not a resort and somewhat away from all the action.

Loved our stay. Beautiful area, lots of wildlife and a short drive to town. Would definitely stay again.

Jun, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great dog friendly property. Staff were very nice and helpful suite was clean and had everything we needed.
Breanne, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good option

It’s the third time we stay there, the sauna is awful (both of them) and in need of an urgent renovation. The room are very good, we stayed in a loft with a full kitchen and it’s a great option for families. Overall the hotel is good, close to the city but not so much that you don’t rest, the bus stop is very conveniently located in front of the hotel and it’s definitely the best way to go to town (that or walking). We will probably be staying there again.
Mariana, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Location is good, very quiet and convenient. We will definitely think about staying here again.

Awesome condo with plenty of room and all amenities that we needed. Dishes, cutlery, dish washer etc
Joann, 3-night trip

The hotel was great. Pool was clean and staff were super friendly. We will definitely come back!

Great place with a few minor issues

Great place to stay with a large family. Reasonable price and well laid out and functional cabins. They were clean and well maintained with friendly staff. Parking was difficult with a larger vehicle, but doable. Wi-fi was slow at certain times. There were only 2 sets of washers and dryers (one of which was out of order). Overall a great stay with a few minor issues.
