"The location was stunning "

The location was stunning! And although we enjoyed Trappers and a supper at your restaurant, the rest of the time we bought food in Banff and ate it in our room. Other than that, we had a lovely time and your staff was phenomenal. Thank you for making our 30th wedding anniversary special. Cheers!
