Although older hotel is very clean and good location. Over $500 a night for room (which guessing due to summer season) but at that price one would expect to have at least some water in the room. How hotels can expect guests to drink out of bathroom taps is ridiculous at this sort of price range. Front desk staff were ok but fairly rushed and don’t ask how your stay was.

Property is located right at the center of the town. Parking is very easy. Most of Banff tour pickup location is also located right at the back of the hotel. You can easily hop on a shuttle from there. Recommended if you’re looking to stay at the town centre.

The hotel was in the middle of the Banff town. Great location makes everything walkable. But at night, there could be noise from club goers. My partner and I didnt mind because they provide a white noise machine which drowned the noise oitside, and was able to sleep well.

The hotel is right on the Main Street of Banff and walkable to almost everything. Room was nice, but bathroom doors are just sliding and don’t close completely. Beds were comfortable. Our room overlooked the street below and had a beautiful view of the mountains. The unfortunate part were people in the street yelling and swearing until 3am and we could hear it all.

There is a live show place next to this hotel. If you wanna a good rest, no way. The show maybe running until 3am. If you like night life. You could go ahead. They have very long hall like a maze place. Only good thing is the hot tub has great view. I recommend fox inn not this one, be honest.
