Great property and nicely appointed rooms. Initial check-in is at the Canoe Hotel which is across the street. They have daily coffee and tea supply delivery and a pour over coffee maker in the room. The beauty of it is that you have full access to the Canoe Hotel's emenities. Hotel is a short walk down Banff Ave into town. Definitely would stay here again when visiting the area.

A great option for something a little less fancy than its lodge neighbours but still clean, quiet, and cute.

Really enjoyed our stay. Place was clean and well laid out. Reception and room has a bit of a Japanese hotel feel to it. Dog friendly!

The property was quiet. More or less clean. Renovated rooms, had a gap under the door that was letting cold air in. Nothing a towel didn't fix! Great price.

Well priced extra clean property, 100m from gas and convenience store. Everything works and is newish. You have to register at canoe hotel so one star off for service but on balance it is excellent with very reasonable price.

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.
