What guests think

At Mountain View Inn, travellers highlight the convenient Canmore location with mountain views, budget-friendly rates, and consistently friendly front-desk service, while many find the simple rooms generally clean and suitable for short stays between trips to nearby parks.

Recurring drawbacks include very firm mattresses, dated decor, worn carpets, and small TVs. Guests also report thin walls and plumbing noise, so sound travels, and some areas carry odors or mustiness. Parking can be tight, there is no elevator, in-room microwaves are inconsistent with a shared microwave in the lobby, and there is no on-site breakfast or overnight front-desk staffing. Expect a basic, good-value crash pad in a handy location.

Liked: The price as compared to other hotels in the area. Disliked: No elevator. We were given room on second floor and were asked to somehow carry the big bags up the staircase. The hotel provides no help with carrying the heavy bags. The inn comes across as not customer oriented.

Clean sheets and good shower pressure. Good sized area with 2 queen size beds. Really small sized TV, small fridge is available which is very useful to put your soda bottles and take outs. Wished there is a microwave in the room though which is standard to have them in the room but they do have it in their reception floor location. Wished there is an elevator and a cart to bring up or bring down your stuff. My husband had injured his knee and had a challenge doing so. Super friendly staff. The pillows were a little flat and had to ask for a couple more pillows and staff gladly accommodated my request. View of the mountain is awesome, you can hear trains passing by but we didn’t mind. Limited parking, no spots left after 9:00 when you come back to the hotel after going out for dinner. Good location, great access to food, groceries with supermarkets around. No hot tubs and pools but they’re close to Elevation place and has a great pool and other activities that kids would love. All in all, good place for a weekend stay. They can lower the rate considering there is no hot tub or pool.

I was staying in Canmore prior to an appointment in the morning. I found it not as clean as I wished as there was hair on the bathroom floor. This just made me wonder about the overall cleanliness. Some spots in the bathroom floor I think we're more wear and tear. I could hear the train rumble down. The tracks both at night and in the morning.

Great hotel for decent price. Booked through Expedia got a decent rate for a Sunday night stay while traveling. Clean bed comfortable room. I always get a room away from the parking lot and lucked out got Mountain View it was nice. Carpets in the entrance way area bit worn but this is a resort town upgrades are difficult when peak season is almost year round. Great pillows , clean bedding. We didn’t use the micro, fridge or snacks but amenities were all clean. Would stay again. Get there early parking is at a premium.

Thin walls, my young son and I could hear people arguing loudly in the halls, which was a bit intimidating, rodent (mice) sound/light deterrent in the main hallway (not comforting!!), an over-powering glade plug-in the bathroom that I didn't discover until morning when it was too late and my sinuses were completely congested. Tight parking stalls. The young guy at the front desk was friendly and helpfully pointed out that there is no one available at night... You would need to call security for assistance. If you need a place to stay for one night because you are passing through, this may suffice?...

We arrived late after a 12 hour drive. We were unable to check in and had to wait almost 15min for a member of staff to turn up. He was kind and helpful. On the way to our room we noticed a large patch of carpet that was lose in places. It was taped down and just looked odd. Once in our room we went straight to bed only to be woken by the most awful sound of rushing water. This was caused by the person in the room above having a shower. The noise went on for 15min. Then we were woken a number of times by doors opening and closing in the corridor. Its the worst night we have ever experienced.

The stay was actually good. However, during thr check in, the front desk staff asked to take my physical credit card for deposit purpose which made me suspicious right on spot. And it’s the only place where I provided the actual card. Two weeks later, I have multiple fraudulent transactions posted on my card. Am I supposed not to connect the dots?

This is a cute little gem of a budget hotel in Canmore if you don’t need anything fancy such as a pool, gym or hot tub. They offer free coffee at the reception which I though was a nice tough. Drip coffee makers, mini fridge, hairdryer in room. Rooms are clean and fairly large compared to other budget Canmore hotels. Walking distance to coffee shops, restaurants, pubs, and not far from downtown Canmore. We had a great mountain view!

“You get what you pay for” don’t expect a 4-5 star service. You will get an actual key for your room, if you lost it you will pay $100 for each key. No microwave in the room, didn’t bother to ask coz I assume they don’t have spare for the guest. There’s common area with tables and microwave and coffee in the morning. Unlucky us, we’re almost on the end of the hallway so we have to walk far just to heat up our food. Front staff people are nice tho but if you have extra try other more decent hotel to stay in Banff or Canmore..
