We loved that it was so close to the shopping downtown in Banff. The free unground parking was great as it had just snowed. The staff was friendly and awesome and the room was big and very clean and comfortable. It doesn’t have a pool so my daughter and her husband and family would not stay there. I missed the mountain view from my room but everything else was great. I would try the restaurant and hot tub next time.

The rooms were clean. Very little room in the bathrooms for anything (no counter space). Pool and sauna amenities are not as good as advertised. Very small, not usable by more than 4-5 people at a time which is not ideal. Did not get to use because of this. Front end staff were awesome. Close walking to everything downtown, parking was decent.

Great getaway without breaking the bank

Great location as we could walk downtown. Rooms very spacious. Excellent price for size of room. Only negative was the underground parkade is low (only 6). Moose is 6.7 which is better for our truck. Other than that we had a great stay. French last was amazing. Friendly staff.

The stay was very pleasant, the only issue that on Thursday night there was quite a racket going on outside at about 11:30ish (just outside my balcony door), but I don't think there is probably much you can do about it.

Great location for a great price!

Excellent location! Staff was very friendly. Building is big older but they have done nice upgrades and the bathroom was incredibly clean. The only minor thing I didn’t like was the walls are very thin so I could hear my room neighbors talking real late at night but wasn’t a big deal. Just something to note. Free parking also a huge plus.

Disliked: Staff & service
Two people in our group were mistakenly booked under the wrong names. The front desk staff coldly and firmly said we couldn’t stay at first. On top of that, they took an aggressive attitude, saying, “This is Canada!” We were eventually able to stay, but that initial interaction made us feel like all the services would be bad, and we couldn’t enjoy our stay. What customers need is not blame, but solutions. Treat people with courtesy!
