Visitor Accomodations

Staying on or near campus is often the most convenient method of accommodation during your stay, no matter what the duration of your visit may be.

University accommodation information (short- or long-term) can be found here.

'Hotel Village' is the colloquial name of a stretch of many hotels along Banff Trail. Right next to a C-Train (public rail transit) station only one stop from the university or about a 15 minute walk, Hotel Village is a great location, especially for short stays. Hotel rates vary significantly, with the cheapest being around $70/night. Expect to pay significantly more during the Stampede. We have used the Econo Lodge in this area in the past with great success. Further information can be found here.
