Buffalo Mountain Lodge Review

Five minutes up Tunnel Moutain Road, just outside of Banff Townsite, this motel-turned-lodge is a great mid-range option in the area. The claw-foot tub and heated slate floors in the bathroom add elegance to the premier rooms. All rooms, however, have wood-burning stone fireplaces. The pillowtop mattressess and down pillows are plush and comfortable. Some rooms have exposed pine beams and skylights, and are decorated with mountain scenes in a rustic style. Rooms can be a bit dark, but screened-in balconies are a nice place to kick back at the end of the day. A stainless-steel hot tub and fine-dining restaurant, Sleeping Buffalo ($$$), on site are perks. The Douglas Fir Resort next door has a small convenience store that is handy for (slightly overpriced) last-minute necessities.
