The room we had shouldn’t be rented out

Honestly, my experience wasn’t terrible by any means. The room was clean and spacious and the location of the hotel was on Banff ave but not too close to the busy spots which was nice, but I’m extremely disappointed with the location of our room. We were in a room that was basically in the lobby of the hotel. When you came up from the parkade the room was immediately next to the stairs. In addition to being next to 3 exits and the elevator. It was the only room in that area and holy it was noisy. It sounded like everyone that came into the hotel was inside our room. I couldn’t get to sleep until about 2am and we almost left the hotel because of it but we were too tired to drive. Then we were woken up at 7am by people in their ski boots walking passed our room and smacking their skis on our door and some sort of truck or something backing up outside our window in their back alley. We also stayed in Banff instead of Canmore (which would have been significantly cheaper) because of the ice sculpture tickets we were suppose to get by staying in Banff but when I inquired about them I was given 0 information about them. Not super impressed with this place and likely won’t return so as not to risk being in that room again.

I would absolutely come back to the Red Carpet Inn! It is within walking distance of everything and a 30s walk to Roam transit. Everything is close by, loved the location and the mountain view of your room. Recommend :)

Good location and the room was in decent shape. Looks like they have done a somewhat recent update to them. I appreciated the parking and free public transit access. Staff were helpful. If you like a soft bed, this place is for you.

Included underground parking is a great perk. The room was very nice and it was very quiet. The soaps in the room smell heavenly, so much so we bought the same to use at home. Downtown is a quick walk, and a number of coffee shops within a block. I would happily stay at Red Carpet again.

This is not the best option if you have small kids or lots of stuff. There is no elevator from the parkade. Although we felt safe, not having staff in the building could cause one to feel less protected.

Nicely updated room, we were on the top floor and it had beautiful vaulted ceilings which made the room feel extra spacious! Very clean, comfy bed, and quiet location. It’s a bit further down Banff Ave from the super busy core, which made it quiet, and parking was easy! Still very walkable and accessible to everything you need. We travelled with our dog and they provided treats and a little toy for him!
