Wonderful

Comfortable stay. Short walk into town centre or can take free shuttle bus. Parking was free and pretty easy at the property. Also can use pool facilities at the sister Caribou hotel which is very nice. Would be happy to stay here again.
Spacious room but found some hair in bed and on some pillows in both beds. Dingy pillow cases. Inconvenient to check in (had to go to another hotel just to check in) especially when we arrived late in dark. For some reason, the room key didn’t work the next day but one of the housekeepers opened the room for us. Called the front office to ask for assistance with the room key but the staff never bothered to knock on the door to check. After waiting an hour, I called the front desk and was told that the staff returned to the other hotel because we were not standing outside. Since we were planning to check out next day, we just stayed in our room. I did not want to wait for the staff to return.
The Dorothy was a great place for our stay in Banff. Rooms are clean if a little tight for four adults sharing, bathroom was nice and modern. The courtyard was a lovely spot to enjoy a rest after a day exploring. The only issue was the check in process with the app was a little confusing and slow at first but is pretty straight forward once you’ve got the hang of it.
The Dorothy was spacious, clean comfortable and the rare hotel with lots of lighting. The staff was wonderful, offering free transit passes that we used everyday. Great location. The restaurants were a short walk and we could take a free bus to shops. Brand is incredible with breath taking beauty. The mountains are so closed.
On the whole, we were very satisfied. The room was comfortable and quiet. Our only complaint was the floor which was dirty. The location was convenient and the staff were friendly and helpful.
First time we have stayed and will definitely will book here again next time we visit banff. Theres no frontdesk lobby here but everything is done through the app including keyfob for opening your suite which is very convenient. No lineup, no talking to anyone, simple and easy check in. Rooms are clean and have everything you need for a night stay. Parking is free and right outside your room. Very quiet place and theres a gas station, convenience store and a&w right beside it which is very convenient! Its banff so the price of the hotels in this town is quite expensive, maybe if theres a complimentary breakfast atleast or a pool/hot tub, i would say it would be well worth it. Other than that, great place to stay in banff!
