Clean rooms, pleasant staff. Close to many shops and amenities.
Was the perfect place to stay while in Banff. Location was great, walk to all the shops and restaurants, right in the river with views of the mountains. Guests also receive discounted Ski Big 3 lift tickets which was a great surprise.
10/10 would stay again.
Friendly staff. Clean bedroom & bathroom. Love our room with a nice view of Bow river. Venue is so close to everything you need... food, shopping, transit & attractions.
Everything was great about my stay. Clean and comfortable room. Convenient access to downtown Banff and the Roam transit. Shuttles for ski resorts just 150 m away. Staff was excellent and helpful. I’d stay here again. Bow River and Bow River Trail right behind hotel.
The room is clean and comfortable. Staff is very helpful and deliver a water kettle right after our request. We got everything we need.

Room was spotless, albeit a bit dated, but great amenities. Really good value for money with undercover parking and more facilities at their adjoining hotel.
