Disappointed.
My husband and I agree that the best thing about our stay here was the incredible breakfast each morning. We really wanted to love the bed and breakfast atmosphere. The blinds didn’t go fully down and we reported it to the desk who said yes that they did and did not check. The next day we told a different lady and she immediately came up and went over and above putting blankets in the spaces around the windows. The bed was not comfortable and the air conditioner would come off and on loudly throughout the night. The room was hot when we checked in so we had to run it the first night but opened the window the next night. You could hear the traffic and neighbors but at least it did not jolt you awake. We sadly would not recommend staying here.

Attractive and beautifully decorated inn with sweet inn keepers who provide a delicious and unique breakfast for every guest. An easy and pretty walk to downtown. Construction outside the property during business hours during our stay was unfortunate but when completed the full beauty of this inn will be restored.

The price was too high for the room. It was 2 star quality at best. The breakfast was very good and the staff were friendly and helpful. Beyond that, its not a place we would come back to.

It’s not the hotels fault but there was road construction that would shake the place. Other than that the inside of the hotel is very quiet and calm. Very sweet and elegant. A cozy place and area to catch up on a book while sipping on tea or coffee.

No shoes in the house
The Inn was delightful. The staff was helpful. We couldn't wear our shoes indoors, but had to wear slippers while inside. This kept the floors clean. Breakfasts were outstandingly delicious! Our room was large and comfortable. They even made a special lunch for us when we went on our day trip to the Lakes. While I would not go back to Canmore, I would go back to the wonderful, well maintained Inn. Very private and relaxing.

LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! We booked two nights stay, it was lovely.very clean, quiet, beautiful breakfast! Our room is not that big but very comfort, personally speaking it’s enough for two people. There are different room options you can choose. I was concerned that share space with other people.but truth is everybody polite and you don’t really have chance to meet with other people. it worth to stay! I like it.

Updated big room-Grotto Mountain with own bathroom. AC worked great. Bed was excellent and seemed new with no sag. Own medium size frig in room was nice. Inn had nice breakfast that had daily: smoothies, nice assortment of teas, OJ, coffee, hot chocolate, cereal, milk/cream. Then you got a “starter” that was like a mini quiche or yogurt with granola. Then the main breakfast had small slices of varied fresh fruit, a protein like ham or sausage and either savory or sweet large item that seemed to change each day; one day was an omelet then the next was waffles. Servers brought you your starter and main dish rather than buffet style. Towels/bed linens were clean with no stains. Outside shoes are not allowed inside so bring a house shoe or they have a large assortment of slide-ons you can use. A lot of people would also just wear their socks inside. Some of the rooms appeared to not have their own bathroom,AC, nor private access from outside. Our room did allow pets-I was afraid my room would smell like dog, have fleas, or have pet hair, but it had none of those things. Couldn’t even tell a pet had been in there if one was. Constriction on street in front of inn, but our room was in the back, so it did not bother us. Construction did not start early nor seem to go late or on weekends so this should not be a deterrent to staying here. Parking space reserved for guests was great.

My wife, daughter and I stayed 4 nights in the suite on the main level, two bedrooms and an additional living area. It was well decorated, nice size without the cramped feeling some suites can be associated with, very clean, quiet and the breakfast was great. The common area (inside and on the outside deck) was also very comfortable and clean with an ambience of an earlier era. The staff was friendly, inviting and polite. We highly recommend staying here.

The staff is not available after 7pm. Due to that the check in process becomes difficult. The coffee kept in the dining room for guests was at the room temprature at early morning hours. Again, there was no staff.

We stayed at Lady McDonald for 4 nights during our visit to the Banff area. The facility was as pictured,furnishings and decor were comfortable and clean. Daily breakfast was a great start to our day exploring. Canmore more pleasant and less crowded than Banff, but had a lot to offer.

A wonderful B&B in the heart of downtown Canmore. They served an excellent gourmet breakfast. The room was cozy. Unfortunately the bed was small and very uncomfortable. Local road traffic could be heard throughout the night and we were woken up early to the roar of a train going by.
