Good choice for an affordable stay on Banff Avenue. It's a bit of a walk to the stores, approx. 8 mins, but it's quieter at that end of the avenue, which is a bonus. There are lots of restaurants and cafes close by too. Our king suite was lovely, spacious, and had everything we could ask for regarding our comfort. The staff at the front desk were really pleasant and welcoming each time we entered the hotel.

Our family stayed for two nights, and the experience was wonderful. The hotel is in a convenient location, just a few minutes’ walk from Banff downtown. The atmosphere was peaceful, and everything was clean. Our two daughters loved the pool, and we appreciated the relaxing hot tub and steam room after a long hike. The reception girl did her best to assist us when we arrived, which made our check-in smooth and welcoming. Overall, we had a fantastic time. What we liked most was the quiet environment and the quick access to the lobby and elevator, without the long wait times you often find in larger hotels.

Unfortunately, house keeping was sub-par as we had to wait until late afternoon to have our room cleaned, after we had to request the service. As well, we weren’t allowed to have a meal warmed in their microwave. Honestly, over priced for what you receive.

We had to leave early due to fires. We did everything properly to leave but the person at the front desk likely overwhelmed and might not have documented properly because the facility was not aware that we left. Next time, I won’t leave without documentation in my hand. However the facility did understand that we discharged properly and followed through. We would have stayed if the fires and smoke were not so threatening . Lovely stay, very nice staff
