For travelers who are looking for a lower-middle-range spot full of features and freebies that don't break the bank, the Pocaterra Inn & Waterslide is a top option. You'll be within walking distance to food and gas, but need a car to hit downtown. Families are drawn to this pet-friendly spot thanks to the indoor pool with a waterslide and a ‘kids under 18 stay free' policy. Business travelers like the decent-size gym, sauna, and event space. Free Wi-Fi, lobby snacks, and a well-stocked breakfast buffet attract everyone. The 83 rooms have massive flat-screens, balconies, fireplaces, and comfy beds. The similarly-priced Coast Canmore Hotel & Conference Center is a good alternative for those wanting more modern rooms and a full restaurant (though there's no free breakfast).

Blackstone Mountain Lodge's edge-of-town location makes for a long 25-minute walk to the town center (especially in winter). But the four-pearl hotel's friendly atmosphere, gamut of on-site activities (an outdoor pool, hot tubs, fire pits, gym, and massages), plus 150 well-appointed rooms with mountain views make it a top pick. Unlike most of the other condo-hotels in Canmore, this spot manages to find that sweet spot between the independence of a condo-hotel and the sociability of a traditional hotel. Families are drawn to the suites' gourmet kitchens and in-unit laundry machines, while couples like the balcony views and gas fireplaces. Expect to pay a resort fee. For a more traditional home-away-from-home feel, check out the nearby Stoneridge Mountain Resort, where you'll still get similar condo units minus all the social aspects.

Falcon Crest Lodge is a three-and-a-half-pearl condo-style hotel on the eastern edge of Canmore, about a 20-minute walk to the town center. The 76 apartments are soundproofed and outfitted with contemporary furniture, gas fireplaces, stackable laundry machines, and large flat-screen TVs loaded with cable channels. Mountain-view balconies with Napoleon gas grills and five-foot soaking tubs are a favorite among guests, while impressively equipped kitchens surpass the self-catering standards with everything from egg poachers to dishwashers. Having just a few on-site features like two hot tubs, tiny gym, free board game and DVD rentals, and attached dinner-only Vietnamese restaurant makes for a quiet and private vibe. Freebies include parking and Wi-Fi. Travelers looking for something similar, but with a pool or more social vibe, should check out the nearby Blackstone Mountain Lodge, also in the Clique family.

The three-and-a-half-pearl Stone Ridge Mountain Resort is a self-catering, condo-style property located about a 20-minute walk (or seven-minute drive) to Canmore's town center. Its 99 one-, two-, and three-bedroom units have top-notch gourmet kitchens, fireplaces, and balconies with Napoleon gas grills, plus AC, 55-inch Smart flat-screen TVs, deep bathtubs, and fast, free Wi-Fi throughout. Big wins for this property include the heated outdoor pool and large, 10-person hot tub and peaceful outdoor patio area, but there's no on-site restaurant, and the gym is small, with slightly dated equipment. If you'd rather swap the pool for a spa and on-site restaurant, check out the Silver Creek Lodge on the other side of town.

Located a 15-minute walk from the city center, the 164-room Coast Canmore Hotel & Conference Centre is a quiet mid-range property with a good restaurant and great mountain views. Although some common spaces have a rather traditional mountain cabin feel, rooms are contemporary both in terms of decor and amenities -- think minimalist white furniture, free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs, and coffeemakers. The pool house, complete with a small pool, a hot tub, and tiny gym, is a popular perk year-round, while the lounge is a cozy spot to spend a cold winter day by the fireplace. Business travelers looking for something a tad cheaper but with a similar array of amenities may want to check out the Holiday Inn Canmore, located just up the street.

With its secluded edge-of-town location and affordable rates, the 99-room Holiday Inn Canmore is a popular mid-range value spot. You'll find a younger ski crowd in summer and older guests and families in summer's high season. Expect your standard contemporary but not stylish value hotel decor and clean rooms that feature microwaves, Keurig machines, mini-fridges, cool AC, and mountain views. Guests have free access to the outdoor hot tub, Wi-Fi, parking, and local calls, plus there are lots of freebies for kids. A coin operated laundry room, event rooms, and meals in the restaurant (no lunch service) cost extra. If you're looking for a hipper spot that's closer in town, check out the stylish (and slightly more expensive) Coast Canmore Hotel.

The four-pearl Silver Creek Lodge is a 52-room property on the western edge of town, within walking distance to plenty, but you'll likely need a car to hit the town center. There's not much space to lounge around here, though the hotel packs in several notable features, like a hot tub, yoga deck, and gym, plus an Aveda spa and a great Japanese restaurant. Hotel rooms have a stylish vibe, kitchenettes, and platform beds, and the condo-style suites add outdoor space, full kitchens, and in-room laundry, but their decor isn't as attractive. Drawbacks include no breakfast or lunch service, Wi-Fi that's in-room only, and there's no pool. For who want a more social vibe and don't need to self-cater, it's worth checking out the Coast Canmore Hotel & Conference Center, which has a pool and restaurant with a lounge bar.
