Great location to explore the Rockies. Canmore is a very charming town that is just as pretty as Banff, but not as crazy busy. Plenty of fast food options and restaurants close to the hotel.

I recently stayed at this hotel during my visit to Alberta to explore Canmore and Banff. Pros: It was clean and you can do virtual check in and check out. It was also close to the highway which was convenient and near downtown Canmore. As well came with a parking spot which was useful as we had a rental car Cons: They mention how there is no housekeeping during your stay unless you request it. We did NOT request housekeeping, however to our surprise we came back one day to see that our room was cleaned. My friend who prefers to use her own towel got it accidentally taken by the cleaning staff as she thought it would be ok to leave it hanging in the bathroom since we didn’t request cleaning. Also on the first morning of our stay, someone tried to enter our room. When we brought it up to the front desk worker they advised us it was one of the staff members who tried to enter by accident. (We were worried another guest was able to enter our room using their key code). They did apologize for the inconvenience however I’m not sure why a worker would need to enter our room at 6:30am in the morning…so that was odd and a bit scary. I did see another review have a similar situation happen to them where a worker tried to entered their room by accident…so this doesn’t seem to be a one time thing. It was a nice hotel, however given the circumstances I don’t think I would stay here again the next time I’m in the area.

Went to Canmore for a wedding for the weekend. This place was perfect for that purpose - well-priced, clean, updated room and convenient location. We had breakfast at the Bankhead Restaurant and it was excellent. There aren't a ton of amenities in the hotel but it was fine because we were busy with the wedding anyways. The check-in was seamless - we didn't have to interact with staff because everything was done mobile but the times we did, they were very friendly and pleasant.

Not worth the price.

I was really excited for this hotel as it seemed like they really had it together and checked all the boxes. We didn’t mind paying more for a nicer hotel. Well it’s too good to be true unfortunately. They require you to do an o line check in prior to getting to the property. Doesn’t seem like a bad thing until you learn everything you filled out is completely disregarded. When we got there, there was no mention of my special request (which they ask if you have any. Mine was if someone could help me button the top of my wedding dress in the morning so my fiance wouldn’t have to and could see me fully ready) and the front desk personnel was extremely unfriendly and didn’t want to tell us our room number because I should have gotten an email of all the details. The floors had clearly not been vacuumed and the towels had stains on them. Definitely not worth the price but not a terribly unclean place- hallway smells of weed and the room was super musty until we left the outside (shared balcony with everyone on the second floor) door open for awhile. Just have the mentality that no one working the front desk will help you and won’t talk to you. If you need something extra for your room- you will have to do without because no one will be at the front desk and if the man working it is there, he will walk away when he sees you. There is also no elevator to the second floor; only stairs.

Room was nice and clean. The only issue I had was there was no room on the bathroom to put toliteries. Which is crazy because there was at least two more feet to put a bigger vanity.

Beautiful Hotel

The Northwinds Hotel in Canmore is fantastic. The rooms are large, have incredible mountain views, very well appointed, clean and comfortable. AC is quiet and works well. Front desk staff is delightful and very accommodating. The hotel is well situated, easy to get to hikes or downtown. You don't want to leave this place! 5 stars plus.
