We enjoyed the entire suite. It was spacious and the bed was incredibly comfy. We appreciated that there were so many appliances and dish ware to make us feel more at home and help save us money especially on breakfast and coffee/tea! The spa was nice too! We also loved the local coffee (caused us to go buy some!) as well as lots of extra shampoo etc.

We only had two things we didn’t love. 1. we were in Aurora and it was kind of annoying to have to go into the parkade to go from our suite to the lobby or pool or to the bow part where our family was. 2. The pool wasn’t very exciting for a resort this fancy but we’re glad there was a pool.

Comfortable bed and linens, clean, comfortable, great suite amenities, nice little deck with clean out door furnishings. Large bathtub, spacious, easy to manage room temperature, good parking options

Disappointed that there is a 10 am check out with no negation of leaving after 11 Not even standard 11 am check out. When you pay good money for a place to sleep and you are on VACATION- you should have the option to sleep in and have breakfast in the condo. By the time we tried to relax and eat our breakfast- we were stressed trying to follow the early check time . You should change this. This is a condo with kitchen amenities. No time for a shower, no time to relax, clean up, pack up It’s go- go-go We were irritated by this. Made our morning very busy instead of relaxed. I won’t stay here again they allow at least 11 am check out.

We splurged a bit on the Solara as it's not cheap but we based ourselves here for our Rocky Mountain excursions. We had a huge apartment with 2 bedrooms/2 bathrooms, fully fitted kitchen, 2 balconies - 1 with bbq, washing machine and dryer, TVs in all rooms and fireplaces in all rooms. We had a very comfortable stay here and enjoyed the pool and spa. Robes and towels provided.

The Solara is on the outskirts of town so it's a bit of a walk to the Down Town area. We didn't like to find a daily charge on our credit card of almost CAD16 which was for "bear spray, rent of kayaks or surfboards.." and other things we told them we weren't going to use. Everyone gets charged this but there is no mention of it beforehand. You have to walk through the garage to get to the reception/pool areas, which feels a bit odd.

A really spacious and modern two-bedroom apartment. Fully equipped in the kitchen, living room and bathrooms for a long stay. Comfortable beds and furniture meant we enjoyed our time inside. The resort is towards the edge of Canmore, so is quite peaceful. It was an easy level walk into town, or a very short drive. Parking was easy in the underground garage. We thought the resort was very good value for everything we got.

The indoor pool was awkward to get to from our block in the complex - but was fine when you got there.

We were traveling with our 2 teens so we opted for the 2 bedrooms and pullout which was perfect. It had a fully equipped kitchen and washer/dryer plus 2 bathrooms and 2 terraces and 3 fireplaces. There was plenty of room for the 4 of us. It was very clean and the beds were comfortable. The location in Canmore was great. You could walk to main street but it is a good 15-20 minutes. The scenery was amazing and much less crowded than Banff.

The pool was small compared to the hot tub. There are no keycards- you need to use a 7 digit number which was a little inconvenient.

Spacious, good price.

Small pool, we couldn't use it due to it being always over capacity. It was the main reason we chose our stay at Solara, because it had a pool. There was only one busy elevator. For the family of 6 we got a very small frying pan which was unwashed by the previous occupants. It was left dirty in the drawer, covered in burnt eggs. It took us an hour to make some breakfast:). The mattress was semi ok. The door to the hall way had gaps all around that was leaking light at night which was waking me up. The lock between our room and kids was not working so that didn't give us, adults, any privacy to enjoy our weekend.

The property was close to all amenities, trails everywhere, you could walk or ride to downtown Canmore. Banff was only a 39 minute drive away. Lake Louise was an hour away. The units had all the amenities if you wanted to cook your own meals. There were also washer and dryer in the units.

The only thing we didn’t like we were on the first floor and had people above us that had kids that kept running back and forth and the noise was unbearable. So next time we would get a top floor unit.

Nice location, comfortable furniture, great showers, TV was easy to use. We liked the use of a code number rather than a key or key card for entry into the building and room.

I have never used induction cooking before, not a fun experience, especially the first day after a long drive. The parking garage and the directions provided were somewhat confusing. Asked for a late check out and could only get an additional 30 minutes.

the hotel was wonderful! the mountain view was beautiful the amenities were great! Wonderful place to stay with the fam jam. just would like a different room location.

the location of my room was directly across from the parking garage so all night I got headlights shining into my bedroom window. we were also told we would have a propane barbecue that had an electric barbecue that was hard to regulate temperature and burnt my dinner.

The rooms were very spacious - had all the necessities such as large fridge, oven & stove, large sink & large island. The fireplaces in both living room & bedroom were amazing and broughtt the cozy vibes. The tub and shower were simply stunning and so relaxing.

The pool & hottub were very small. When visiting in the evening there was dozens of children seemingly not being watched due to the amount of running on the wet floor & jumping in from the sides.
