We chose the Banff Boundary Lodge (BBL) at the last minute for a long weekend. We wanted a place that was pet friendly and roomy enough to accommodate 6 people. We were pleasantly surprised by the BBL.
We had the 2-bedroom deluxe suite with a pull out couch and 1.5 baths. The master bedroom was spacious and the second bedroom was also a good size. We never felt cramped.
The unit itself was very clean (highest priority for me). All necessity's for cooking (pots, pans, plates, cutlery) and cleaning (dish and dishwasher detergent, soap) were provided and cleaners could be refilled at the main office if necessary. The BBQs are shared but we never encountered an issue with having to wait for the BBQ. Items such as BBQ utensils and baking sheets could be obtained from the office if necessary. Staff were very friendly, helpful and welcoming.
The sheets and towels seemed fairly new and were in good condition. The fireplace was nice, however we didn't use it given the heat. The unit was fairly warm in the evenings since it faced the setting sun. Fans in the bedrooms were welcome relief. Unfortunately, the hot tub was not working which would have been nice at the end of the day.
The BBL is located in the Hamlet of Harvie Heights, minutes from Canmore. It was a nice little walk around the community in the evenings. It is 22 KM from the town of Banff. We drove to Banff and surrounding areas a number of times and didn't mind the distance as the drive through the mountains was beautiful.
The area can be noisy with the highway and train tracks close by. However, this would be the same for most of the hotels in Canmore.
Overall, the suite was great value for the money.
