“We'd stay again”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 13, 2013 via mobile

We stayed two nights at the Fox and decided to upgrade to a two bedroom suite which worked very well for us, although the rooms are quite dark. We had a "mountain view room" and I have to say that it was not, certainly in terms of what should constitute such a view. I did query and was assured it was a mountain view room. I guess it was if you went out onto the balcony (in -22 degrees C) and looked at the hill across the road and then looked left and then right to see the mountains. You could not see mountains from inside the room, even lying down in the bed. Aside from that, we enjoyed our stay, loved the hot pool and the margaritas in the bar. Staff were very friendly and helpful. It is quite a walk into the town, especially in the cold, so using the Roam bus is highly recommended. The hotel provides cards for the bus which is a great service. We would stay at the Fox again.

“The Fox rocks!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 13, 2013 via mobile

We had a group of two couples and rented a two bed suite. The room was fantastic with a little livingroom/kitchen
& two balconies.
Breakfast was ok, it was top notch for continental. Had amazing waffles.
Grotto cave hot tub was perfect after a long day of skiing. Late at night it was empty, peak times very busy - regardless after the mountain it was the perfect place to relax. It is the coolest hot pool I have been in besides totally natural caves!
In general this place is made to have fun, the rooms are pretty much soundproof, which was a blessing with the drunk husbands ha ha.

“Fabulous Canadian Experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 12, 2013

Our family of four was warmly welcomed at the Fox in the New year. We so enjoyed the relaxed , friendly atmosphere, the comfortable apartment, the wonderful hot spa, and the Mexican stlye restaurant and bar in the lobby. The service is excellent and the ski bus pick up and ski rental drop -offs & pick ups is a bonus. Thank you!

“Nice hotel in a good location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 11, 2013

The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. Short walk into town but for those days when you are tired the city bus picks up just steps away (we even got a free bus pass with our stay). Our room was rustic (in a very good way!) and quiet. Our suite had a fireplace and a private balcony.

If we travel back to Banff we will definitely stay here again.

Breakfast was included but it was just mediocre. Short of that I have nothing but praises for this hotel.

We traveled during off season. Missed some of the wild life but it was an awesome time to go.

Room Tip: May want to ask for a room facing the back. Stairwell access to back street and very quiet.

“Best in Banff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 11, 2013

I stayed with wife and two teenage kids for 8 nights in a 2 bedroom suite. It was luxury to spread out after a tiny New York apartment. The rooms were well appointed, great big comfortable beds and spacious bathrooms with instant hot water. The hotel is attractive and very comfortable and the service at the front desk is impeccable. My only gripe is breakfast is very 'light on' (bacon and eggs would be great). I will stay at the Fox whenever in Banff.
