Banff and Jasper accomodations
We are looking for a cabin/cottage or condo with full kitchen and 1-2
bedrooms for 3 adults in a location that is out of the mainstream of tourists. I have been checking out Hidden Ridge Resort, some tripadvisor comments were that the condos are noisy, Tunnel Mountain also had a number of negative reviews that seemed legitimate. Are there any other properties in the approximate price range in the area that anyone has stayed at and would recommend? The same goes for Jasper as we are going to spend 4 nights in that area as well. The Pine Bungalows in Jasper also received mixed reviews. Any comments? Thank you for your help. Carol |

Banff and Jasper accomodations
I can't say much about Banff - our first place was in the town center across
from a bar, and we got no sleep at all before 3am for our two nights there. On our return, we stayed in a motel a bit farther north on the main drag, and it was still quite noisy, with traffic noise this time. When we were looking, I did see a lot of b&b places in the Banff area that weren't downtown, and given the opportunity I'd choose one of them the next time. We did stay at the Pine Bungalows in Banff for several nights and we loved the place. Our unit was quite new six years ago; a one-bedroom with good kitchen facilities, though all we used were the refrig and the toaster. It had a wide porch overlooking the Athabasca River, and the front yard was a gathering place for elk at dusk, even with barbecue grills going at several units. The staff were friendly and everything was well tended. Not the place if you want room service, but hard to beat if you want a cabin in the woods for a few days. Keith ps: Just looked at Trip Advisor, and I think the same sour-grapes crowd has the same things to say about every place on earth. Bad room service? No kidding. No room service. Musty carpets? No carpets either. Hole in the screen door? Close the inner door, or get a piece of duct tape and jerry-rig it. You couldn't figure that out in six days? Don't want to wash the dishes? Don't use them. 95% of the comments were in line with mine above, and even more favorable. "clsmoyer" wrote in message ...
