Review from mark c.

If you go to Banff, this is the place to be if you want to be downtown. They have parking (for a reasonable fee); there is also a public ramp across the street that you can park in for up to 12 hours at a time for free. It is near everything downtown. I have stayed here four times over the years. The complimentary breakfast is not great--cereal, toast and fruit but it is complimentary. People don't seem to know about the great whirlpool, sauna and exercise room that they have available to guests--there are towels in there too. A great cozy place to stay when in Banff. The other review is a little odd here--come on--this is a old timey lodge (but modern) and the decorations are appropriate-probably Cree design. The furniture is all carve wood motiff.

Review from Sapna G.

I spent the weekend at Brewster's Mountain Lodge after deciding that we wanted a little more time in Banff this weekend.
What I loved about Brewster's Mountain Lodge:
- The girl at the concierge desk & her AWESOME accent
- Instead of having a candy bowl at the front desk, they have a basket of delicious cookies!
- The ENORMOUS fireplace in the lobby
- The beautiful wood that all the furniture and railings are made out of
- The fact that it is across the street from my favourite restaurant in Banff- Magpie & Stump
- The fact that there is a FREE Parkade located around the corner
- The pillows are hella comfortable
- Free WIFI in all the rooms
- The pricing is extremely reasonable ($120/night for 2 queen sized beds on a Saturday night, AND continental breakfast is included!)
-It's located RIGHT off the strip! It's literally a one minute walk to get to Banff Ave!
What I didn't love about Brewster's Mountain Lodge:
- Their parkade! What's the point in having a parkade if it only has a few stalls in it? Their parkade was a nightmare and you need a room key to get in, so when we first pulled up to the hotel to check in, there wasn't ANYWHERE to park. Plus their parkade works on a 'first come, first serve' basis. In my opinion, if you're paying to sleep there, you should have a place to park there!
- The colour of the carpet was ridiculously tacky (reddy-pink)
- The continental breakfast was not appealing AT ALL. We ended up just having coffee/tea and then went and ate somewhere else
- There were two occasions in the middle of the night where random people came and had long-winded conversations RIGHT OUTSIDE OUR DOOR. They were lucky that my bed was so comfy, otherwise I would have had no problem getting out of it and telling them where to go.
All in all, I enjoyed staying at the Brewster's Mountain Lodge. There are far more things that I liked about it as oppose to didn't like about it, and you really can't get a more central location!

History
Established in 1996
In 1888 the Brewster family relocated to Banff, AB via the CP Railway to start their new life and new family. Their first business venture was a dairy to service what is now the Fairmont Banff Springs. As the family began growing and carving their niches they started doing pack trips into the mountains. They would create a livery service, outfitting operation, carriage rides to the train station, aquire a merchantile, Opera House and hotel. They moved into motorized transportation in the 1930's. In 1947 Bill Brewster built Brewster Inc. to house a Ford Dealership.
Today they still have many divisions such as the Brewster's Mtn Lodge (1996), the Kananaskis Guest Ranch 1923, Mount View BBQ, Cowboy Dance Barn in Lake Louise, Shadow Lake Lodge (back country lodge) 1990, and the Kananaskis Golf course in 2001.
