We had a wonderful stay at Buffalo Mountain. The grounds were beautiful, the hot tub was perfect, the lobby and dining facility was really nice, we only had breakfast there but it was fantastic. Nice touch of Nespresso machines in rooms. Good location, although not quite walkable to Banff Ave, easy busy stop across the street. Would definitely stay here again.

Pet friendly suite and truly it is they have a tag to put on your door to indicate your pet is alone so staff know. This is very reassuring. Wood burning fireplace and much wood, comfortable furniture, good selection of dishes, good size fridge. Lots of windows.
