Banff Springs Hotel at Christmas
- January 2, 2009
- Rated 5 of 5 by

Christmas could not be better spent than at the Banff Springs Hotal. The hotel is always perfection and the over the top christmas experience is indescribable. The online pack saved at least two thousand dollars over "retail". We have stayed at the hotel many times before and we were looking for a ski trip. The package showed up un-announced and we jumped at it. There is NO finer hotel in the world.
Loved it!

Beautiful view and that is it. Highly recommend to stay at other hotels cause you can't see anything anyway from inside the room unless you stay in a suit by paying high price . When I stay at the high quality hotels such as Fairmont, Four Season or Ritz, I expect good service and best comfort. But, the room was worst than a motel. They had old 19" TV without movie channel and less than 6 feet wide bathroom. The bed was so old I was able to hear the squick sound. I thought I was staying at $ motel. Also, I had to call a maintanence because the water wasn't draining in the bathtub. Maintanence finally showed up after third request. However, the problem occurred again next morning. So, I requested again on the way out, but nothing was done when I came back in the evening. What a nightmare. Worst hotel I've ever experienced.
Beautiful and Historical

First, we truly enjoyed our stay at the Fairmont Banff Springs. The employees at the hotel were very helpful and pleasant. Our room was not ready when we arrived, but we were a bit early and they gave us choices. They even offered a place to change for brunch while we waited for our room to be ready. We expected our room to be old and small, but we were pleasantly surprised to be put into a large room with a very nice view. (This was one of the choices) The bathroom was nice, but was in need of repair due to many years of use. The hotel was old, but that was what we had come to see. The lobby and sitting rooms and even the exterior were beautiful. The indoor pool was never full, the hot tub was full once. Yes, it was expensive, but we thought it was worth it, at least for a once in a lifetime stay.
Amazing Place

This hotel is very expensive but everyone should stay there at least once just to experience it. It is a beautiful old hotel in a glorious location. I really enjoyed my 3 day stay and wish I could afford to stay longer. Room was very quiet and comfortable and the staff was eager to please. If you do stay there, just be prepared to be nickled and dimed to death. Parking is $22/night for self-park and you even have to pay to use a computer in the business center. I thought this was a bit excessive considering how much the rooms cost.
