There's talk of going to Banff in Easter 2010 (tied to school holidays). Can anyone recommend accommodation - I've looked at Fox Inn & Suites and also Banff Rocky Mountain Resort Condos. Our family is 5 so we need to be in one room, would like a pool. Non skier in the group also.
Anyone who's been who can advise on resort, accommodation, tips etc. We're also thinking of booking separately rather than a package.
Thanks in advance!

Rocky Mountain condos are a mile out. How old are the kids? There is literally so much info I could give you about Banff I would actually be here forever but if you have any specific questions I would be happyto advise.

The children are 11 (girl) 8 (boy) and 2 (girl) at the moment. We are looking for the best accomodation and location given the age of the children and I don't ski or board due to injury to cruciate. My husband boards and wants to take the children up the mountains but nothing to hairy for the children.
Accomomodation wise needs to be central for ease of mobility and of a good standard with plenty of options for entertaining the children in and evening.

Booking direct is a good idea. If you are stuck for something to do in Banff with the kids then somethings up-there are plenty activities.
Get on the phone to Banff International hotel, Banff Park Lodge or the Mount Royal they are as central as your going to get and can probably sort you out with something to cater to your needs (they will probably go to extra lengths to try and accommodate you).
Banff SPrings is a bit out of town (15 minute walk) but might be worth the extra money/distance as far as the kids are concerned, there is an ice rink, bowling and a big pool, plus you have the bonus of staying in one of the best 5* hotels about.
If you are booking it yourself I have used the Banff Airporter quite a few times and they are great for transfers.
As for eating the kids will love the Spaghetti Factory (unless they hate spaghetti but then they wouldn't be real kids :wink: ) Saltlik is fantastic for a bit of a classier meal-serves some of the best steaks in Banff.
