Search hotels in Cochrane

We enjoyed staying west of Calgary as preparation for a launch into the Banff area followed by Revelstoke and Whistler. Cochrane is a short drive from Calgary airport yet a giant headstart for the next day's travel. This B&B was a much better contributor to our trip than a generic hotel stay in Calgary.

I payed for a king standard room 200 cad. And got stuck two floors down next to the mechanical room in a tiny room with a small double bed that must have doubled as a staff accomadation unit based on the make shift kitchen.. The breakfast was muffins and bagels toast heavy carbs only protien was boiled eggs. This was a rip off.

We took in two meals while in Cochrane on the weekend of Nov 25, at Sakura Sushi and Grill and at the Texas Gate - both were wonderful. Cochrane has a young-family active vibe and we were lucky to be there for the annual Cochrane Light Up, where the streets downtown were filled with music and lights, carolers and celebration to kick off the Christmas season. It was a blast!

The town seems like a nice place to live, we liked the historic town and the saloon. There is a good ice cream parlour but it always has a queue, but worth the wait. Lots of restaurants and close enough to other attractions

Cochrane is friendly and has everything you need. It is a short ride to Canmore which is also a very beautiful bit expensive experience. The one negative was our car rental “Routes Car Rental” I found and reserved it online under Calgary airport car rentals. I received no follow up reservation number. That should have raised an alert after all they had cashed my visa payment. When we arrived at the airport we went to the area with all the auto booths. They had no booth i only found a phone number and address via the Internet. They were a bus ride away!!! They had i record of my order. I had to spell my name, Smith, five times. They had a substitute car which fine and brand new. But it was was A horrible way to start a vacation.
