The room was very spacious and clean, fireplace was a nice bonus. The hot tub and pool area was amazing. We loved that it has room service - and the food on site was tasty and well priced. We come to Banff a lot and have found a gem with this hotel. Can’t wait to be back.

It was quite nice, would have been great if we could have plugged into the tv or casted our own movies. The hotel has it very locked down. Pool and hot tub area was great, plus the parkade was over 2 m so we fit in a truck.

The beds and linens are very comfortable. The gas fireplace was a nice feature in the room we had. The pool/steam room/hot tub were spa quality and were really nice. The hotel is just a couple blocks away from the downtown area, so it is very convenient and walkable. The fixtures, carpeting and furniture are outdated but it is cozy. I would expect the soap products to be local but instead were full of chemicals and from overseas. Not even the same brand for the different items. All other hotels and spas in Canmore and Banff I have been to over the years have provided local disposable products, so I was disappointed to see this here. I also find it odd they would charge an additional fee for parking when there is abundant space in their parking garage for each room to have one car. I am from Calgary and have a lot of experience in the area.
