Banff Upper Hot Spring
Link to the Banff Upper Hot Spring (http://www.hotsprings.ca), only 20 Minutes drive from where we are staying, anyone interested? Don't forget Swim Suite, Although if you open the URL, you will see that they also rent out Swimsuits, but no thanks....
Almost July, 12 days to departure
Hello all, It is almost July now, and it has been a while since our last post to our blog.
Less than 2 weeks left before we all meet in Banff , Alberta at the Inn of the Rockies. So exciting.
We will arrive to Calgary on July 10 (1 AM) will check into the Hampton Inn (North of the Airport), spend the night, have a swim in the pool, have our breakfast, pick up our rental car and start heading out to Banff Area. The check-in time is 3 PM, and we only have 80-90 Minutes drive. We like to stop at a supermarket and pick up some first day food supplies.
There is Natural Hot Spring place in Banff itself that I love to go to, and I hope others would like to dip into the Natural mineral hot water.
We have also rented a house in Calgary for July 16-21 on AirBnB.com. There are many things to do in Calgary, specially after a week of hiking and sight seeing, being in a city will feel good again.
See you all very soon.

Hello again;
After making the reservation at the "Inn of the Rockies" http://innofrockies.com/, found that calling the place itself directly would offer a better deal. Same no penalty cancellation policy, up to July 7th to cancel with no charges.
4 Units, with 2 Queen Beds, one pull out sofa, 1.5 Bath, & kitchen, Indoor pool, hot tub and sauna. picnic tables and BBQ grills.
At the present exchange rate, nightly price of USD $186 Including 9% tax, total of USD $1116 for 6 nights/unit. This is lower price than the Banff Gate Mountain resort, with much better looking rooms, cleaner and more up to date.
Looking forward to hear from everyone, your thoughts and feedback. And I am sure they would have a place where we could all gather and mingle (Breakfast, lunch or dinner), I will call and ask and leave another post.

Hello Everyone;
I will continue to monitor lodging prices at different resorts in Banff area and will reserve the ones with free cancellations.
I just reserved another place in this area, offers free cancellation up to July 8th. The price is very close to the one I had reserved before at the Banff Gate Mountain Resort. http://banffgatemountainresort.com/. Banff Gate Resort is okay and very basic. Take a look at the rooms and reviews people have left.
But the new one that I just made reservations, called "Inn of the Rockies" http://innofrockies.com/. 4 units that accommodate up to 6 adults each, Price is only $10-$20 higher than Gate Resort, but the rooms look much nicer and cleaner. Again, we have until July 8 to cancel with no penalties and until then I will continue my search for better priced units.
