The location is good. It’s in the middle of Banff. You could take a very inexpensive bus into town if you didn’t want to walk. . It needed tender, loving care to make it excellent. The staff was great!

We stayed here after hiking for many days in Banff. The hotel is very much a ‘90s throwback, but clean and nice. The pool and hot tub were welcome after so much hiking.

Decent place on the Banff ave. Nice comfortable room with good bathroom and very comfortable bed. Didn’t eat at the restaurant but they packed us a sandwich for the hike which was good. Convenient 10min walk to downtown. Place can do with some facelift.

We stayed for 6 nights in a spacious junior suite. Loved the size. Loved the gas fireplace (can’t believe it’s so cold in June). Any minor problems were fixed with great attitude by the front desk. Recommend this hotel!!
