Thanks! Is it better to stay in both nights in Louise or one night in Banff or Canmore and one night in Louise Lake ?

Staying in Banff is much more convenient and can save a lot of time, although the hotels in Banff are a bit more expensive. I just returned from a Road trip in Canada and stayed in Banff for two nights. The first night, we visited the Icefields and Lake Louise, and staying in Banff made it easier to visit Moraine Lake the next day. Cars are not allowed to enter Moraine Lake after 7:30, so we left the hotel at 5 and arrived before 6, but there were already quite a few people by the lake. When we left at 7, the parking lot was already full. The next day, we visited the town of Banff, and most of the attractions are less than 20 kilometers away, with the majority being just a few kilometers.
It depends on your personal interest. You can enjoy the scenery of Lake Louise and Banff the small town. You can also ride and drift in Canmore. Personally, I prefer to spend two days in Lake Louise.
