“Beautiful View”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 23, 2012

If you're looking for somewhere to stay that's not in town, this is the place. The view is fantastic and it's a nice quiet location. It's not too far of a drive into Banff or to other tourist attractions. The front desk staff were very accommodating. They upgraded us to an apartment style room with a full kitchen, for not much more money. The outdoor hot tubs are very nice. We never had any problems with other guests as some of the other reviews had. Don't let their reviews deter you from staying here! That kind of thing can happen anywhere. It's very family friendly. We have a six month old girl and there were no issues. The cleaning staff could learn some lessons in patience though. I've never stayed at a place where they clean while you're in the room, even after we asked them to come back. They could have done the next room first and come back when we had left. Other than that, we had a fabulous time!

Thank you for the review. I'm sorry that the housekeepers interrupted you while you were in the room. On a future stay, I can recommend that you let us know what time you would prefer to have service done in the unit, we are happy to take such requests at the front desk and we can ensure to pass that on to the housekeeping team. We strive for perfect stays! Thanks again.

“Terrible Heating Systems”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed December 17, 2012

There are definitely much better properties in Banff to stay at but this one just happens to have some of the larger units.

I don't blame the service as it was all reasonable, but we stayed in one of the 2 bedroom loft units and the heating in there is horrendous! The rooms are both located on the bottom floor but the temperatures swing wildly.

Room 1: Our room was like a sauna oven because I think we were beside the furnace and we ended up having to open up the window half way through the night to cool down.

Room 2: The other room was like a fridge because it didn't have any vents and our friends had to wear hoodies, extra pants and touqes at night to stay warm.

Loft: The loft area was also an oven because naturally all the hot air rises while the main living area was colder because all the air rose to the top.

We were a group of 30 something professionals celebrating a birthday weekend and I would really not advise groups of 8 to stay here. None of you will sleep very well unless you all enjoy extreme heat or cold. Also, be aware that the front desk will do all in its power to ensure that you aren't throwing any raging parties (which I'm sure could be a problem here). I can't really blame them for it, but come on, don't assume all big groups will be guilty of having ragers until it actually happens. That was something that irked us for sure and I will not be returning to this establishment for that reason. I would not recommend this place for groups unless you are a couple that doesn't mind being outside of the townsite.

“Loved every minute of it!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed December 6, 2012

My husband and I stayed here late September/early October. By far it was the best holiday we have ever taken. We did not want to leave, which is rare for us... usually we are ready to head back home. But not from here, this felt like home! The fireplace every night, watching movies borrowed from the front desk, the comfy beds and spacious bathroom - everything was wonderful! The staff was incredible. They heard we were here for a late anniversary trip, they came to our room and delivered wine glasses, a bottle of red wine and a card. It was great! We will never have to wonder where to stay in Banff again (we come every year). Thanks Hidden Ridge!

“Good but would try another hotel next time..”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 30, 2012

I found it was quite small, and quite high in price. Rooms are average and dated. Free firewood and sauna, pool. Good experience but not my favourite. Would recommend it if you wanted to spend 300$ a night for 4 adults.
