What guests think

At Irwin's Mountain Inn, travelers frequently praise the walkable Banff Avenue location and consistently friendly, helpful staff, while noting that the property and rooms feel dated with well‑worn carpets, occasional maintenance issues, and some noise between rooms and corridors.

Rooms are generally clean and comfortable with some spacious layouts and mountain views, but features like older A/C, limited outlets, firm beds, and spotty Wi‑Fi or TV come up. Facilities such as the hot tub/sauna, laundry, and on‑site restaurant are appreciated, though the hot tub/sauna can be closed and parking is tight with low clearance. Expect a straightforward, budget‑friendly stay prioritizing location and service over modern style.

Irwin's was better than I expected. It's conveniently located to the central downtown area (about 7-mins walk) and even closer to the Roam hub bus stop which is especially nice since booking included a 3-day bus pass!! The staff was friendly and very helpful. There's parking on the property as well as a restaurant. Only downside was closing time for the hot tub and sauna. It gets dark round 10:30p in the summer which means longer days out hiking and exploring. Using the hot tub after would be ideal...but it closes too early. I recommend extending the time in the summer.

The place was fine. Service very disappointing. I booked here specifically for the dry sauna— and while it was working I was not allowed to use it because the hot tub was not working so the entire area was off limits. No offer for a discount or any sort of compensation AND I found out this had been the case for many weeks yet there was no alert on the website.

This hotel is not the most modern but it is very clean and the staff is extremely friendly. Check in was smooth and they have parking on site if you have a moderately sized car. The bed was very comfortable and the shower was hot with good water pressure. Lots of amenities in the room …. coffee pot, coffee, ironing board, etc. They also have laundry on site.

The location was perfect. Can walk throughout the town. Underground parking was a definite plus! The hotel itself is dated. Could use new carpet. If you get cold easily, bring your own extra blanket! I am happy I brought my heated blanket- as they were not any extra in the room! Room was a bit dusty, old coffee pods were left in coffee pot and water from previous guests was left in ice / wine holder. Noisy at 6 am sounded like garbage trucks were racing down the streets. Paid a total of $256 for two nights- it really in our opinion -is not worth more than that per/ night-

This is an older hotel, very basic and affordable. Checkin was good no issues. Room was good for the price and no real issues other than the soap/conditioner dispenser was almost empty. The only thing that I took issue with was how faded and dirty the hallway carpets are, this could leave a bad impression on the overall hotel. Still with everything I would choose to stay here again for the same price point.

Pros: location is excellent, the service was great, view was great (I had a superior room with a balcony), and my favorite thing is they give you free bus passes for the local bus service. Their room key comes with some discounts around town, so definitely check those out! I also liked that the tub was nice and deep, so I could have a bath. Things seemed nice and clean. Cons: definitely is a bit dated on the inside (carpets, A/C, lobby), the bed and pillows are a bit firm for my liking, the A/C is loud, the TV does not have many channels. Overall, my husband and I enjoyed our stay here and would return again.

Good location, big room. Nice staff. Parking a bit tight if you got big car. When leaving, we could leave car in car park untill 4pm, which is nice touch and very helpful. Room was next to store room, so a bit noisy at moments. Comfy bed, noisy air con- no way, we could sleep with it on. Noise regulation not followed as noisy during night - people shouting at midnight and from 5am again. Room very dated, so much potential in there.

The front desk agent tried to charge me twice for a deposit. The first time she charged me $200, then tried to charge me again for $100, but I questioned it so she caught her mistake. She also tried to get me to pay in full for my room at check in, even though it was already paid for online. She seemed like she didn’t know proper polices
