The room was spacious, clean and comfortable, great if you like a firm mattress. Very close to a nice pathway by the river, a short distance to historic downtown.

We booked two rooms here to be closer to Banff and didn't expect much. However, we were pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness of the rooms. The mattress was also remarkably comfortable.
