Lake Louise Inn--any input??
We're going to Banff in July (me, husband, and two kids). I already have reservations in Banff for four nights, but am wondering about splitting it up and spending two nights at the Lake Louise Inn (looked like a good place for the kids). Anyone have any thoughts on whether this would be worth our while (packing, unpacking), or should we just base our stay in Banff and drive to lake Louise, Icefields, etc. from there?<BR><BR>Thanks a bunch. I learn SO much from these message boards. They are invaluable in trip-planning!!

Don't know that I can help much but we ate at the Lake Louise Inn when we were there 2 years ago. We stayed at the Post Hotel, which is across the road from the Lake Louise Inn. The restaurant was nice and if I remember correctly it had a nice pool. It seemed more like a family place than Post Hotel. It is located in the village of Lake Louise, not on the Lake itself. There isn't much in the village - a small shopping center and a few hotels. Banff might be a better place for kids just because there is more going on. You'll love the area - it is the best trip we ever took.

Anne:<BR><BR> You should have a great time.

Also, there are a variety of units. For a family, you can get a large unit for a kitchenette. There is also an indoor pool for the kids. <BR><BR>The Post Hotel accross the road is more upscale and much pricier. However, if you want a great meal and want to splurge, try their dining room for dinner. The food is innovative and the
