Myself and my husband and two young boys had the pleasure to stay in suite 314 for a couple days this January. We are avid ski and snowboarders so we do get to try many accomodations in both regions of Banff and Jasper. The stay we had at Blackstone was above and beyond what we expected. Underground heated parking is a huge bonus when carrying luggage and the many items a family requires. The suite had all the ammeneties of home. Should you choose to make a large meal or snack you were able to do so. The 2 bedrooms offer 1-Queen and 1-King bed. Very comfortable. Not what you get with most hotels. The accomodations were very clean and staff were helpful and polite. Our suite 314 over looked the pool with a small deck and a great mountain view. The spaciouse suite with two washrooms was a hit for myself but the heated outdoor pool was the boys. I was sceptical of an outdoor pool in the winter but the temperature was kept warmer then the indoor pools we are accustomed to at other hotels. Robes and towels were made available in our unit which made it confortable to go swimming. The hot tub was just that "nice and hot" great alternative for myself who was not interested in swimming. There was a game room with wii and foosball I believe but we never did play but the option was there if you wanted to. Our suite also had a washer and dryer if you needed to do any of your laundry. I myself am very fond of Canmore as it's quaint with all the shops of the larger town of Banff and the mountain view is spectacular. We spent the day at Lake Louise which was no more then 50mts drive and back for a comfortable soak in the hot tub and movie on the large tv at the end of the day. We had such a great trip that we booked again with in two hours of returning home. Our boys are very excited and look forward to hitting the slopes and the Blackstone Mountain Lodge in a few more weeks.
