Would stay again
Very comfortable beds and pillows. Large room, spacious bathroom, good location and very quiet. Free parking. I think the motel has been recently renovated. The only problem was the noise from the air conditioning unit. It was so loud you could not hear the tv without turning it up very loud.

Sydney

Traveled with family
The property was in a great location and wasn’t too far away from the main section of the Banff town. Parking on site was very convenient and the property was well maintained. The check in/out staff were helpful and friendly. Affordability of the room was the main reason why I chose the Dorthy Motel and I will be staying here again in the future if possible!
