The hotel

There's a definite Western feel to this amiable family lodge in the heart of Banff. A truly authentic Rocky Mountain getaway, with many adventures and activities to enjoy including horseback riding, hiking, skiing and golf. The complimentary breakfast is sure to set you up refuelled and refreshed for another day out exploring, and upon returning back to your homely lodge accommodation, relax in the sauna. Rooms are spacious and comfortable with handcrafted log furniture, large windows, bright fabrics and historic photographs, a serene retreat after a day in the mountains.

Nice location, near to restaurants, stores and some attractions. The people at the front desk were very friendly. The room was comfortable and clean, but the view was not of the good ones. I think is more than enough, specially if you will be taking tours or driving around.

Blood on sheets. Yes, you heard that right. Been here a few times and are experiences were fine… no problems! So, my fault as I never checked the sheets when we got in.

Blood on sheets. Yes, you heard that right. Been here a few times and are experiences were fine… no problems! So, my fault as I never checked the sheets when we got in. As my husband and I were getting into bed for the night, there was blood spatters on the sheet. We were horrified and disgusted. Obviously, the sheets were not changed from previous guest. We changed rooms at 10:30 pm to a downgraded room. New room was much cleaner smelling. The management was dismissive as my husband talked to her next morning! They NEVER APOLOGIZED!! So, obviously even if the location is great… we will NEVER stay there again. Gave a discount in the end but still had to pay a fee. Worst hospitality we’ve ever experienced. When you made a HUGE disgusting mistake… one should apologize. Brewsters service is terrible!!! Read less

The Brewster was clean, comfortable, great location, and we loved our balcony! Linens and towels were very nice. The Pendelton bed covers were a ver nice touch. The beds were very comfortable! Our rented suburban fit in the underground parking. Breakfast was ample and refilled frequently.

Hotel clean and quiet particularly as it's on the Main Street. But we did have a room at the rear. Convenient for walking around Banff centre and for resturants etc. Hotel a little tired and our room was a bit on the small side with very little room to put our luggage or unpack. The front desk staff were not very communicative or enthusiastic and never smiled! Good breakfast and the lady who ran it was very efficient and she smiled (: and said god morning. Parking underneath hotel a great plus. Read less

A wonderful gem right in Banff townsite. The lodge was clean, beds very comfortable, the loft room rustic and cozy. Breakfast service staff worked hard to keep fresh food readily available and the breakfast nook tidy. Thanks for the great service and lovely stay!
