Stayed there for a night. Room was clean and quiet. All amenities were there. Hotel has ample parking space. Check-in check-out was smooth as well. As core downtown is around 1.5 km they provided us free transit passes without asking. Overall a nice stay.

Bring some slippers if you stay during the winter months. The floor were a little chilly. ( - the bathroom, which had in floor heating). Room was nicely renovated. There are no immediate amenities. However, you have. Access to the amenities at the Canoe hotel across the street.

Comfortable beds, a weird shower though to be honest. Kept stubbing our toes. Some weird cut out on the floor in the shower to drain the water. Stayed in a 2 bed Queen Room. Staff very friendly, quiet area. We stayed 2 nights. Also check the conditioner and shampoo as we had to ask for housekeeping to refill which don’t get completed unfortunately. We told the staff when we checked out as I didn’t want to complain again. I would recommend this hotel and we have stayed here in the past.

I think checking in at another hotel was inconvenient. I also smelled weed. So I felt the people staying here were here to party. We checked in at night . The room is clean and is nice.

Mobile check in did not work so we had to first stop at the Canoe Hotel to check in which wasn’t super convenient. Other than that, very happy with the staff and the room. It is at the far end of the road in Banff so good amount of walking- unless you catch the bus which we didn’t do because of the timing.
