This place is a disaster. The rooms are nice however, the floors were filty like they weren't cleaned in weeks. The 1st night we arrived the sheets on the bed had food crumbs and other peoples hair on them. The furnace makes a loud noise every 2 hours. The ownership claims it is 2 years old?? It hasn't been serviced... more

My husband and I had the pleasure of staying at the Paintbox Lodge for 5 days early this month. What a pleasure. The facility is wonderfully kept - the towels are so thick that you lose yourself in them - the creams and bath products are of best quality. The rooms are spacious - some with fireplaces. And the feather... more

While looking for a getaway to explore and enjoy the mountains after recently getting married, I asked a few collegues if they knew about any lodges in Canmore or Banff, Alberta. Because my husband and I... more

We stayed at the Paintbox earlier this summer and were very, very disappointed. This supposed "luxury" hotel is located in downtown Canmore, overlooking a parking lot, and a huge pile of junk. There is no air conditioning so the windows needed to be left open. Very difficult sleeping conditions due to the noise level directly outside the lodge, and the... more

Paintbox Lodge, Canada Select 4.5 Star Inn - voted one of Enroute's Favorite Boutique Hotels in Canada January 2005 excelling in Bed Comfort "Our favourite beds include the superplush model like those at Paintbox Lodge, are so cushy you practically need a running start to hop in". The review is not factual on facilities or service as they described. We...
