I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel, primarily because it's right on the slopes, making skiing so convenient! The views from my room were absolutely stunning, but I was disappointed that breakfast wasn't included, which made mornings a bit stressful. The dining experience could have been improved with faster service, especially since we often had to go down to Banff for food.

I had a remarkable stay at Sunshine Mountain Lodge, where the stunning mountain views and the exceptional service made the experience truly memorable. The rooms were not only clean and comfortable, but the little touches like housecoats and beautiful toiletries added a luxurious feel to the stay. However, I found the breakfast prices quite steep compared to dinner. Additionally, the smoking area could use some improvement, which was a bit disappointing.
