The Rundelstone is one of dozens of mid sized lodging options lining Banff Ave. This one happened to be fairly far down the strip, but had a king sized room available. Since we booked at the last minute, we had limited options for a room on Jan. 1st in Banff. We decided to add one night at a time, to be flexible.
The room was decent for the $$. It had a nice bed, a coffee maker, a couple of charis, flatcreen tv ( but no HD channels, notably, no TSN2). The biggest drawback was that the bathroom was really cold. Of course, Curt used this to his advantage and put the beer in there at night when it was too cold outside.
Another drawback was the indoor hot tub, shouldn't all mountain resort hot tubs be outside ? The pool area was actually rather large for being indoor, but between the lack of outdoors and weird foam in the water, we only went once.
We added one night at a time for 5 nights. The Rundlestone worked out fine for us, although a light breakfast at the hotel would have been nice this trip.
Location, Location, Location . . . The Rundlestone a solid mile walk from the town center. We knew this going in and embraced the extra exercise. In the end, it was 30-70 dollars a night to be closer, and we allocated that money to buy beer, but likely would have moved closer if temps remained in the single digits.
