Nothing but perfect, everything time!
Amazing property! We have stayed here a handful of times over the years and recently stayed in a renovated unit which was wonderfully done! Huge bathrooms and the bedding is always so comfortable! The only downfall was the in-room fireplaces have a starter pack that aren’t meant to burn for long, so the fire was short, but sweet. Great food at the restaurant!!

Overall really nice place, however, twice during our 3 night stay the hot tub was under maintenance and so was the restaurant. Customer service could be more professional as most of the people we interacted seemed bored to be there.

This place is magical! We booked a pet room and it was equipped with a doggy bed and bowls. So sweet! The room was lovely with a wood burning fireplace and addtional wood is sitting right outside the door. The Prow restaurant is delicious !!! The $20 martini was a bit steap but worth it as a birthday present to myself! The trail to downtown is a few minutes away and i was told the walk to downtown is about 20 minutes. The bus stop is across the street. This was my 2nd time staying here and its my favourite place in banff !

Upon arriving we already knew wed be coming back! The hot tub is extremely well kept, the rooms are cozy yet clean, and there is firewood provided for the fireplaces. A short drive to downtown banff, it is in a convenient location. A perfect winter stay!
