Banff Rocky Mountain Resort

It's dated-looking and 4km outside town, but this half-hotel, half-time-share remains a bargain by Banff standards. Rooms range from motel-style units to generously sized bedrooms with fireplaces and sofa beds. Other amenities include a pool, hot tubs, tennis courts, and an on-site cafe-restaurant. Take the free hourly shuttle into town, or walk or cycle along the nearby Legacy Trail.
