Reply to "Albert & BC owners unite-spring 08'"

here are my recommendations for accomodations in Canmore. All units have full kitchens, well appointed & are walking distance to downtown for all eating and shopping/grocery needs. Also most offer underground parking. Canmore is a small town with about 11,000 permanent and 4,000 part time residents. There is a very congested area with short term vacation rentals which I would stay away from....construction is under way on many buildings with no parking and big equipment travelling the streets. It is the "Kananaskis Way" area. www.canmorealberta.com

Owner of Ultimate Properties - Eric Watson

3. there are also a variety of B&B's - www.bbcanmore.com

4. the Bear and Bison Inn - no indoor parking but very nice. The owner used to be the chef at the Banff Springs Hotel....excellent food. 15 min walk to downtown. Cafe, small store, restaurant and liquor store nearby - www.bearandbisoninn.com/

5. the Creekside Country Inn - beside the Bear and Bison Inn is a more basic choice and more affordable. No indoor parking and a 15 min. walk to downtown. Cafe, small store, restaurant and liquor store nearby. www.creeksidecountryinn.com/

Hope this info helps.
Would be great to have a good turn out!
