Excellent value for money in a great location- 5 minutes walk to Banff Avenue and all the bars, restaurants and shops. The decor is a little dated but the hotel and our room were clean and we found our stay to be very comfortable. Staff were always friendly and helpful and secure parking was available. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend.

All of the staff were friendly and provided excellent service. The bed was very comfortable, and the room was clean and cozy, which made our stay very relaxing. The only minor downsides were that the toilet and sofa were a bit low, and there was only one microwave available in the hallway. Overall, we were very satisfied with our stay and would happily come back again.

As others have mentioned, a renovation is due because the building shows its age a bit, but my stay was great overall. The room was clean and toasty warm, the staff are incredible, the hotel is removed from the main strip (so it's super quiet) but an easy walk to everything, and the view from the river side rooms are beautiful. The price is also reasonable compared to other hotels in town. Would highly recommend for anyone going to Banff.
