Banff hotels near Central Park

Cons: Leaving....and not having time to visit the Waldhouse Restaurant on site. I was looking forward to their schnitzel, but misread their schedule.

Cons: They had a lot of restaurants but they open for dinner they said they closed at sunset which is 9:30 and they were closed by 8 one night at least 3 rest closed by8

Cons: Bed and small size room

Cons: We had opted out of bringing our stroller this trip and that was the only thing I wish we had at the hotel as it's so big and we were in a wing far from the main building. Wish they had a stroller rental kinda thing

Cons: Location is great but not as exceptional given the price of the hotel. Too far from town to really walk ... not close to anything really interesting like other hotels ... no skiing nearby in winter to justify spending the money we did. If money is no object this is the place to go.... but it matters to me. Otherwise a fantastic place.

Cons: Our room had no AC and the unit they brought in worked poorly. Management gave us 2 breakfast free fro our inconvenience, but hat was a poor response . Our room was very loud due to the portable AC and was warm all night because it didn't work well. I think Management did the very minimal to appease our situation. disappointing.

Cons: Room wasn't ready to check on until 7:30pm! When got there, room was very dusty! Staff did provide complimentary breakfast as a sorry and were helpful, but a lot of money for a pretty standard hotel room!

Cons: In a luxury hotel such as this you should't be charged per-day for wireless internet access. This is really my only complaint, the rest of the stay was flawless.

Cons: Breakfast

Cons: Free continental breakfast

Cons: - CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST WAS VERY LIMITED AND MUFFINS WERE FREEZER BURNT - STEAM ROOM DIDN'T WORK THE FIRST NIGHT - JETS IN HOT TUB NEVER WORKED AT ALL - VERY HARD TO GET A NORMAL TEMPERATURE IN ROOM WAS VERY HOT IF YOU HAD THE HEATER ON AT ALL

Cons: Our view. Buses are not fun to look at. Plus you feel like people are in there creeping on you in your room even though you know it's empty.

Cons: the breakfast was adequate but modest

Cons: Toilets were never cleaned, bath tub remained clogged the whole stay, the heating in the room was poor, the bed was very hard, sheets were very thin. Breakfast was not bad but some mornings were worse than others

Cons: The breakfast was chaotic and not very well organized. I had to ask for glasses for juice, mugs for hot drinks, cutlery and bowls for cereal. There was some cutlery behind all the food on the window shelf, but this wasn't really visible when people were serving themselves food. When I did notice the cutlery tray, there were only spoons left. The hot water for the tea was lukewarm. My daughter and I were sat right next to where the food was served and the line was being constantly held up by guests waiting for more coffee, juice, milk for cereal, etc. I did not know there was any bacon, until about 15 minutes after I had sat down as there was none when we first got there. I only realized when someone walked past me with the bacon. Whoever was in charge of making sure all the hot foods and other foods were in constant supply were not monitoring this properly. The only time all foods were well stocked was after 10:00am, when the bacon, sausage and egg were piled high, but as it was after 10:00am, no-one else was coming in to eat it. My daughter and I left around 10:40am and there was hardly anyone left so a lot of food would have gone to waste, when this should have been in abundance earlier on. Though it was chaotic, the workers who were replacing finished food items and tidying up, were pleasant and friendly throughout. I would have preferred an earlier check in time. Checking at 4pm and having to be out of the room the next morning at 11am, does not leave a lot of time to enjoy the amenities, (pool & hot tub) in the hotel or in the area. I felt short-changed. I would be reluctant to book again because of the not very pleasant breakfast experience.

Cons: The TV

Cons: The only negative about our stay was the "continental breakfast" that was included. Only the pastries and cereal were included, the hot foods were $10 more so we opted to eat outside of the hotel. Not a big deal, but worth noting.

Cons: We had sewer water coming up our bathroom sink at 7:30 am and the night before I noticed some black soot in the sink but did not know why. We left our room as soon as possible reported this to the front desk. The manager only offered a 50% return for the room rate when I thought it would only be right to fully compensate us for such an extreme inconvenience. Disgusting!

Cons: The hallways were covered in drywall mud patches so must have been prepping for some repainting or something. Temporary inconvenience but not a sightly interior.

Cons: Could do a bit of updating with TV and bedding

Cons: There is no pool even though they say there is. You have to go next door to the neighbor hotel and it is dingy and very sketchy hot tub area. Pool is in completely different area. Breakfast was supposed to be until 11:00 am and was cleaned up and put away by 10:30 am. A decent walk from most shopping areas and restaurants. Not worth $400 + for a night. One of the only rooms without a balcony.

Cons: INTERNET WAS VERY POOR STRENGTH . COMPLIMENTARY BREAKFAST WAS NOT GOOD . Some time they do not attend call at reception desk nor they call back to room

Cons: Breakfast could be defined better by staff

Cons: construction but it wasn't too bad

Cons: Underground parking was terrifying in my large SUV! Found street parking no problem however.

Cons: The advertised "superior" room for which we pre-paid almost $400 a night for 6 nights was on the first floor with a walking path right next to the window, so there was no privacy at all. The safe did not work. The towels were fryed at the ends and some had stains. After our complaint, the manager of duty first lied that there were no rooms available. After the threat that we would request money return and move to another hotel, he suddenly discovered a premier room available two nights later, but requested that we check out from the current room by 11am and only check into the new one after 4pm, being for 5 hrs roomless. Only the next day the new manager on duty fixed these issues and transferred us to the room in a normal way and with apologies. The breakfast is mediocre to put it mildly, many motels have better ones. All in all, they charged these enormous prices only since they could - the location was great.

Cons: The room was below standard. There was dust on the rug behind the door, the drain was plugged in the bathroom tub, the shower fixture needs to be replaced. In my opinion, the hotel is showing it's age. Serious consideration should be given to a complete renovation. I have stayed here before but this time was disappointing.

Cons: The room was small and the bathroom was extremely small. And our back patio was above the recreation/ game room so it was noisy.

Cons: What I was not impressed with and that was not on the travel web site when I selected my room is that a large number of their rooms have no external window and only look-out onto one of two interior courtyards. This can be ok if you are not on the main floor, but the room I received was a main-floor room and we could not keep our blinds open because of the constant stream of people walking by a few feet from our window. Another annoyance is that our room did not have ANY heating controls and was very warm. This must be a known issue with this room as the hotel also equipped it with a desk fan. This is NOT the kind of room I would expect from a hotel billing itself as a 3 or 4 star accommodation and charging $300+ for the night.

Cons: Room was way to hot and was not able to cool it down, Went to have a dip in the hot tub.. and really it should be called a cold tub i have been in warmer pools. The breakfast was ok bacon was under cooked and was all stuck together. They need more fruit.

Cons: There was a very slight small nose of a fans or something running at night. It took a little investigation to figure out the bus schedule to the Hot Springs etc.

Cons: The walls must be a little thin as the rooms tend to be on the noisy side. Not a huge deal as we would stay again.

Cons: Close to all everything. Free parking. Breakfast was great.

Cons: Nothing

Cons: The wireless internet reminded me of AOL dialup circa 1998.

Cons: very NOISY room. We faced street-smokers out all hours of night talking - did not sleep well at all

Cons: Not enough parking spots in the underground lot on just 1 of our 4 nights there

Cons: Lots of families here- the "hot pool" which was a larger hot tub was meant for sitting and relaxing. It was being terrorized by a group of 10-12 year old demon boys.

Cons: While I was there the whole town seemed to be waiting for snow, apparently it came late this year (2014). I was able to do some sight seeing and hiking. Only there two days, next time I want to stay longer.

Cons: Parking structure ceiling is a little low (6'4") so if you have a taller vehicle or roof racks, watch out!

Cons: Parking was extremely limited because of an event on Saturday November 3rd. Because of this we had to park quite a way from the hotel. If I'd have known parking at the hotel wasn't available, I would have booked somewhere else. There was no warning when booking that parking wouldn't be available. Having multiple surgeries, a bad hip and knee, the reason I book at the Caribou is for the close and convenient parking.

Cons: It was older and showing the signs. No air conditioning. Elevators loud and rickety. Lighting in room not effective. Too bright in some areas and none in other areas. No coffee available until 630 am and wasn't refilled efficiently. Always lined up waiting for someone to replace empty coffee pot. Important because there was nowhere close by to purchase.
