I don't know the Lake Louise Inn or what your planned budget is.

But I can strongly recommend the "Post Hotel" or the "Chateau Lake Louise" as being both 5 stars and well worth the money spent if it's that end of the hotel market that you want to stay in. I've tried both.

As far as value goes.....I can't use that word in the same sentence with the "Grizzly House" restaurant in Banff. Sure...there is a $15 fondue...cheese and bread. Everything else on the menu is $40+++. The food and service are great.....it's just twice as expensive as any other comparable place. Go forewarned.

The Sunday brunch at the Banff Springs is one of the best places to go.
