Canadian Rockies Chalets

A friend and I rented unit #124 as a VRBO here for a long weekend. The unit is small, but plenty large enough for what we needed, and gave us a small kitchen, dining table and living area for less than we would have paid for two hotel rooms. As long as one is reasonably able-bodied and fit, the Canadian Rockies Chalets is walking distance to just about anywhere in Canmore, at least on that side of the highway. One night we walked to Goucho's for dinner and stopped at Safeway on the way back. Bear in mind, parking at the Chalet is very limited, the later your arrival, the less likely you will find a spot (and the more difficult it will be to maneuver in and out of any remaining spots). If you are a light sleeper with an early bedtime, be aware the walls are very thin so the fewer the vacancies (ie, weekends in the winter when units are full of skiers and probably any time in the summer months), the more likely you will hear footsteps and voices from adjoining units. But we enjoyed our stay here very much and would totally stay here again if we return to visit Banff, or Lake Minnewanka, or Lake Louise, or any other destinations in the Banff area again.

I have been coming here for over 15 years. It used to be run as a budget hotel with a front desk, a hot tub and indoor pool table. Yup, those were the days.... Now it has mostly taken the form of airbnb and you book through websites like expedia/booking etc. But you can still book through its own website, but you do not have a lot of units to choose from. If you are looking for a 2+ bedroom condo this is definitely a place to check out. But it is starting to look its age. There is definitely no onsite management and so any issues are dealt with via phone. On the plus side, it has a full kitchen including stove and full sized refrigerator. These are a must have for those vacationing on a budget.

We had 2 additional guests, which I cleared ahead of time. Additional parking passes are not possible (1 per unit). We were told they could park across the road in a shopping ***** parking area. However, there is not overnight parking allowed there with threat of being towed. Parking at Cdn Rock Chalets without a pass is also by threat of towing. Where do our guests park overnight ? No other option was given. The fireplace was attended to twice by very courteous maintenance staff, but would not remain working after they left. The tv remote was on the blink due to low batteries. Luckily I had batteries in a night light I had brought.

This is the second time we have stayed abd really enjoy this unit! The kitchen makes wating in easy. Comfortable bed.

Great communication, great location. Property itself is a bit dated and semi worn but did the job of housing us for a night between 2 days of skiing. No complaints for the one night we stayed.

Do NOT rent here !…. All renters boast on view … which great !.. and just happen to mention “ train tracks”…. But ALL fail to mention that these trains are incredibly loud and go on for all night !!! 24 hrs a day! I had to leave this Place by Janette and go to another hotel to get some sleep!!! … she didn’t give a damn!! Nor did Airbnb! DO NOT rent this place !!!

A very satisfactory experience. They are very professional and serious. The location is perfect

Money grabbers. Charge $150.00 for putting keys in the return box by office. There is no clear direction of where the keys go…. Refunded me $100 but still charged me $50 because they said a cleaner could not get in. Stay elsewhere were you can trust.

Nice and spacious. We booked 2 chalets for 10 of us. Having a full kitchen was convenient. Very good location - close enough to go to Banff National park and lots of places to eat and shop in the town.
