The hotel has a lot of potential with its unique hot tub and great value restaurant, but the rooms could definitely use some TLC. The friendly and helpful staff made my stay pleasant, and the location is just a short walk into town. However, I did notice that the cleanliness in the rooms was a bit lacking, which was disappointing.

The hotel is centrally located, just a short walk from downtown Banff, which was a real plus. I appreciated the kitchenette in my room, making my extended stay much easier. However, the cleanliness left something to be desired, as I noticed some litter around the common areas. The hot tub was a neat feature, but it could be concerning with its foaminess. Overall, a decent value for money.

The hotel had a lot going for it with a great location and friendly staff, but the rooms left something to be desired, particularly the small bathroom.

The hotel had a great location, about a 10-minute walk from downtown, and the staff was friendly and attentive. However, the rooms could use some improvement as they felt dark and not quite worth the price we paid. The breakfast options were pretty basic and not that impressive.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On the plus side, it’s located in the uptown district, making it super convenient for exploring Banff and accessing ski resorts. The staff were friendly and helpful, but the room I stayed in was quite warm with no air conditioning, which made it difficult to sleep at times due to noise from the outside. Overall, it’s a decent place but could improve in comfort and noise control.
