Location away from downtown Banff so we could stargaze, wood-burning fireplace, quality toiletries, bathrobes and comfortable bed with quality quilt. Wooden furniture could use sanding and a fresh stain.

Fantastic location within walking distance to the downtown. There’s also a free bus service which will take you all places in the town. The hotel is very good and we received an upgrade to a suite which was nice. The staff are really friendly and happy to assist you. Happy hour and Pasta Monday are a must.I would definitely recommend this hotel and will be returning in the near future.

We really enjoyed our stay here!! The rooms are so cozy (we had a premium double queen) and clean. Having fire wood right outside the door with endless fire starters was wonderful! The beds were comfortable, no shortage of towels. It was quiet, parking was easy. The restaurant was great! The attentiveness of staff was super impressive! We never waited more than 5-10 mins to have something brought to our room after calling. The hot tub was lovely. The grounds a very scenic and beautiful, having a deck was such a treat when watching the sun rise over the mountain. The staff seemed very friendly and wanted to ensure we were happy with our stay. Easy check in and check out.

Mountain View great! The room had an old smoke smell which came from the fireplace. I think the stones need cleaning. They are covered in black soot and I think the room would smell better if they were cleaned. I and sensitive to smells
