I had a bit of a mixed experience at this hotel. While the room was spacious and comfortable, it was right next to the loud ice machine that disturbed my sleep. On the positive side, the pricing was reasonable for what I got in terms of space and comfort.

The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms at a price that was better than expected, though the location is far from everything. The service was exceptional, with helpful and friendly staff assisting us wherever needed. The central location in downtown Banff is convenient for exploring the area on foot, but some aspects of cleanliness were lacking in the bathrooms. Dining options were nearby and enjoyable, though not provided in the hotel. Overall, a decent value for the experience.

My stay at the hotel was quite mixed. The location couldn't have been better, right in the heart of Banff with everything close by, but the rooms were a bit disappointing with cleanliness issues and being too small for a family. The service, on the other hand, was exceptional, going above and beyond to ensure my satisfaction during my stay.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were fantastic, clean, roomy, modern, and comfortable, despite being a bit on the smaller side. The service was friendly and accommodating, and the location was perfect, right in the middle of Banff. The dining experience was scrumptious, with the best pancakes I have ever tasted. Overall, a great value for money with some minor noise issues from external sources at night.

Staying above the restaurant brought the delightful smell of BBQ sauce. The room lacked an opening window but was modern and cozy. The Nespresso machine was a bonus for the best self-made hotel coffee experience. The room was small yet beautifully decorated with a lovely bathroom and a comfortable bed.

I had a mix of experiences at this hotel. The room was quite spacious with a lovely view of the mountains, but the view of the hotel walls wasn't ideal. The service was amazing, although the strict adherence to the 15:00 check-in made me think twice for my next visit. The location was perfect, right in the center of Banff, making it great for exploring the main part of town. The dining options were great, especially the complimentary breakfast for Alberta residents. Overall, a good stay with a few minor drawbacks.

Staying at this hotel was a mix of positives and negatives for me. The rooms have a beautiful, modern decor with high ceilings and good windows, providing plenty of light and fresh air. However, my specific room felt like a broom closet tucked in between two hallways with a window facing a brick wall. On the upside, it was comfortable and quiet, equipped with a fridge for leftovers and a safe for passports.

I was pleasantly surprised by the hotel! The room had a lovely mountain view and was quite spacious, plus the staff provided a wine opener and wine glasses for us. However, the mandatory 15:00 check-in made me a bit reconsider for my next visit. The location was perfect for exploring the town on foot, but there were some cleanliness issues in the bathroom. Dining options were convenient, with Belgian waffles being a highlight.
