The hotel is beautiful. And having tea at the hotel was amazing. Swimming in the outdoor pool in the snow was so gorgeous. Here are the weird things: 1.The concierge gave us really mediocre to flat-out-wrong information at least 3 times. 2. I was double charged for valet parking for the entire stay. 3. The bathrooms are so small that there's no place to put your toiletries or makeup. There's no drawers for your clothes. 4. We made reservations for tea and they called to change it from noon to 11am. We got there at 11 and waited with several other groups for 10 minutes, only to be told that it doesn't open until noon. (?!?) After waiting about 15 minutes, we were told to go upstairs and were let in. Honestly, we could've booked elsewhere for half the price and stayed twice as long in Banff. The facilities are pretty and the people are very nice, but it definitely wasn't a smooth stay.

Loved the hotel! Too many renovations at once and the sheets were stained with blood.

Thank you for kindly taking the time to leave a review of your recent stay at the ‘Castle in the Rockies’. We believe William Cornelius Van Horne said it best, “Since we can’t export the scenery, we’ll have to import the tourists” and thanks to his vision we have been fortunate enough to share this spectacular castle with guests since 1888! Thank you again for your honest feedback as it is valuable for our teams! We hope to welcome you back again soon! – Fairmont Banff Springs
