Excellent location but need earplugs

Excellent location right on main Banff so quick access to downtown. For the price point (almost $700/night), you have some expectation of room build and soundproofing. You are provided with sets of ear plugs in anticipation of outside noise including rooms next door. It is like walls have no sound proofing, so that is disappointing given the price point.

P

Location is great, right in the main avenue, so easy to go out and see the town, stroll to the Bow Falls, etc. Shuttle access also very convenient. Obviously this is also reflected in the steep price. The rooms are pretty neat, with a loft for the bedroom, while the living room and bathroom are downstairs. However, this 2-storey setup may not be the most friendly for older guests or people who need the bathroom in the night; and obviously not for anyone who has accessibility issues. Otherwise, the rooms were clean and comfortable. Check-in staff were super friendly & efficient. Not really any encounters with any other staff.

Very nice central hotel.

Very nice hotel in a super location. Handy to have a supermarket across the road. Very large and spacious underground car park, which is included in the price.
