This was our favourite hotel we stayed at while on our honeymoon travelling from Ontario. Room was very cozy and clean, bathroom was HUGE with a walk in shower and big tub. The price was impressive considering surrounding other properties. Staff was very friendly and helpful . We had breakfast at the onsite restaurant which was equally impressive. 100% would stay here again and recommend!

I loved the room! It was so cute and cozy and was so much better than a regular hotel room. I didn't like that the hot tub was down all day one of the days and it was our coldest day so we really wanted to go in the hot tub. It did finally open at 7:30pm, but we really wanted to go in after a long day of hiking before our dinner plans. Parking was also hard to find some nights when we came back from dinner. We always found a spot but usually had to walk pretty far back to our place.

I stay here at least ince a year and normally love it. This year, maintenance on the hot tub was preformed. Taking it out of commission after a 4500 person running event. Very poor timing.

Rooms were well appointed & comfy, staff friendly & food of good standard. However despite us paying for a premium suite our room overlooked the car park and was quite noisy with people coming & going at all hours.

There is no elevators and there is hardly any parking. We arrived late after a tour and had to park far and had to leave our heavy bags in car because of hard Access to the room. Also there was no macrowave in the room. And seems like they had just done some halfway plumbing job. There was a cut piece of drywall that was not properly put back and it felt as if we had some critter's company in the room. The bathroom sink was still clogged.

Mit meiner Kreditkarte haben wir ein wunderbares Upgrade bekommen. Das Zimmer war riesig, wir hatten einen Kamin, eine große Dusche und eine Badewanne. Es war sauber, alles war top. Es gab einen Hot Pot und ein Tolles Restaurant. Wir hatten allerdings nur einmal Frühstück, aber das war ganz toll. Direkt am Hotel befindet sich der Busshuttle nach Banff Centre, der pro Fahrt und Kopf 2 CAD kostet. Was zu empfehlen ist, da wenig Parkoptionen in Banff. Am Hotel selber befinden sich ausreichend Parkmöglichkeiten für die Gäste. Absolute Empfehlung. Ich würde es nochmal buchen.
