The hotel has an excellent location. It’s right next to the river and within easy walking distance to downtown Banff. Our room had a balcony which overlooks the river and is a peaceful retreat at the beginning and end of a busy day.

Excellent value for money in a great location- 5 minutes walk to Banff Avenue and all the bars, restaurants and shops. The decor is a little dated but the hotel and our room were clean and we found our stay to be very comfortable. Staff were always friendly and helpful and secure parking was available. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend.
