“Great rooms and location”

Hostel Bear

8/8 found this review helpful

We stayed at the Bear Country Lodge in October. The rooms are very comfortable and the staff are friendly. There are a number of good restaurants nearby. The hotel is in walking distance of downtown shopping and hiking trails.
We visit Canmore and Banff area quite often. We preferr to stay in Canmore.

12/14 found this review helpful

We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights during late September 2004.

Due to what we considered the ridiculously high rates in Banff, we decided to use Canmore as our base for this area.

We found the hotel to be quite acceptable in terms of room cleanliness and comfort. There is ample parking around the entire property and there are many restuarants in the near area. The staff were quite friendly.

They do offer a breakfast from 7:30 to 9:30, although on the day of our check out, by the time we left at 8:00 there was still no breakfast, or even staff around to check us out!! Along with another guest, we had to leave our room keys on the reception counter and just leave.

Otherwise, this is a pretty standard travellers hotel and we would probably stay here if the price was right, although we would prefer staff and advertised breakfast was available.
