The staff were great, professional, and polite. The room was clean and spacious. The bar is The Keg, so you can’t go wrong with the food and the service was excellent. If there was one thing negative, was the shower head in the bathroom needs to be cleaned from calcium build up. Aside from that, we were very happy with our stay.

NASTY ROOMS! I booked a room here for a few nights (over the holiday weekend) so that my girlfriend and I could enjoy our first trip away together. Neither of us have been to Banff before so I went all out with our stay; hardly sparing any expense only to find that the room wasn’t cleaned properly. I went to grab the hair dryer and was met with a previous guests used underwear and socks!! I went down to inform about it to the front desk about the situation and all they offered was a pie or a bottle of cheap $11 sawmill creek wine from the Keg (yes i found the same bottle in store after)… Really?? That's all that was offered to me? I spend over 1000$ on a room and they can’t even ensure that the room is cleaned properly? Absolutely unacceptable! On top of that, it took them over 2 hours for them to come and remove the items from our room and when they delivered the wine to us, the wine glasses they gave us were not clean. I’d expect this if we were staying at a cheap motel NOT a fancy resort hotel. Will not be staying here again, totally ruined the trip, i advise you to go anywhere else as the front desk staff are totally unsympathetic. SCAM ARTISTS!

4 nights stay only 1 day housekeeping prepared the room and only after a complaint. Only two towels provided for a two queen bed room for three people. Had to take out my own trash. Excuse provided that they have to 6:00 pm to do rooms! It’s dark by 4:30 and most skiing is done sooner. Never again! Every other hotel in Banff can get their rooms done - lame excuse, hire more staff then.
