Brewster's Mountain Lodge

Great location

Pros: Was within walked my distance of downtown Banff. Accommodating staff.

Cons: No air conditioning and noisy outside with window open.

short stay at brewsters

Pros: Lodge was very clean and had only what you needed; no extra bells and whistles.

Cons: Parking is horrendous. Had a Nissan Pathfinder which took 10 minutes to park in a little wee spot with many support columns surrounding the parkade. Would be easy to park a Ford Fiesta in. Also there is NO AIRCONDITIONING, only a fan provided by Brewsters. It was 27 in Banff on one day of our stay there and the room was overly hot and uncomfortable. No mini fridge to keep cold drinks in.

dont get a room that backs on to the alley.

Pros: I liked the location, the staff was friendly and the room was clean. The bus was able to pick me up at the door which was very convenient.

Cons: The rooms had no a/c and the temperature was set pretty high when I arrived. I opened the windows and left them open till about 1am but the alley outside the window was very noisy with people drinking and smoking drugs so I had to close the window, then I woke up feeling horrible as the room was so hot you could barely breath. The next night was cooler outside so the temperature was much more comfortable, but a guy on a motorcycle showed up in the alley at midnight and started revving the engine, and talking with all the people in the alley. It's probably a much better place to stay when it's winter time.
