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.

The location is convenient just right in the middle of downtown of Banff. The area of improvement I would say is that staffs are not so attentive and did not greet with a smile. During my second stay they did not change my towels and need me to call them for that
