Pull in vehicle area to check in & unload is nice. Underground parking is great but elevators don’t go to all levels of the hotel so you have to walk stairs, so if you need this for mobility reasons or stroller this may not be your fit. The halls are confusing, it’s a maze to get around. Location is amazing, you can walk to everything! There is no coffee station in the lobby but a nice coffee shop at the end of the block. We could hear feet above us, that may bother some. The balcony is nice to have but it faces the hotel next door which is strange. You can hear the train horn but I assume that’s anywhere in Banff. Superior Room, 2 queen beds: The room is spacious & clean, we loved that each side of the bed has a side table with plugs. There is a little table, a bench, coffee station, hooks for jackets a closet. The Bathroom is strange, shower/toilet (No fan no switch) with a door, this is very small & the sink is outside that room. Lights are weird with ton of switches to turn on different areas & some bendy lights above the beds didn’t bend anymore. The Keurig coffee machine leaked a bit & there were floaties in the coffee. We were looking for a budget friendly stay with a good location and this meet the basic needs.

Go somewhere else. This place is tired.
The worst lazy housekeeping I’ve ever experienced. Come in makes ONE of 3 beds, same bugs on floor in bathroom entire stay, sloppy housekeeping, basically have to ask for refill of everything. Kleenex just left empty, conditioner left empty, just pure sloppy. Twice asked for conditioner never did come. Very tired furniture. Very old crusty tiles in hot tub. New towels just thrown in. What a joke. Get a proper housekeeper who actually cares and doesn’t tarnish your brand. Would not recommend this hotel.

When we checked in the girl in the reception did not have a friendly attitude. It was difficult to find parking so when she came out to help she looked annoyed and treated me as If I was blind and could not see. The room had little light and was smelly but it was cleaned.

Overall good solid hotel. Beds comfortable and rooms clean. Nice and quiet. Nice view from balcony. Improvements might include bathroom vanity with enough room to put something down on. There is plenty of room in the bathroom for at least an extra shelf. We were in room #244 , the sink is cracked and shower head not working well. Easy fixes and room would get 5*

Staff were wonderful and helpful. The room was nice and l enjoyed my stay. Loved the bathroom soap especially body soap, mini fridge in the room, coffee machine and kettle. The Bath towels (face cloth, hand & bath towel) in the bathroom were 😍. I would recommend the cleaner thought to work on their room carpet cleaning, and they forgot to clean my room twice but the front desk staff solved the issue when l asked. Also, if the coffee machine and kettle would be cleaned because l couldn’t use them. Overall l would recommend anyone to stay here.

The parking was dissapointing and there should be some assistance with cost or more information for out of town drivers if street parking is the only viable option. Paying for parking to stay at a 200 per night hotel is crazy.
