Banff Inn is the perfect place for a vacation. Within walking distance to anywhere downtown, right next to major shuttles, the rooms are perfect size, beds were comfortable, water pressure in shower was 10/10, and the service is the best part. We were greeted by Elmer as we arrived and checked-in. He was the best front desk person we’ve ever connected with. Super kind, informative, and patient. He deserves a raise! We will be recommending the Banff Inn to all future friends and family who travel to Banff.

I enjoyed staying at Banff Inn, they allowed us early check in , very friendly and helpful staff overall. The room was a bit tight space for 5 people however we were able to sleep comfortably. The only downside for the room was not enough lights we felt that the room was overall very dimmed,(no ceiling light and night stand was not bright enough) and upstair loft had limited plug in. however this was just our preference overall it was a good stay , everything was at walking distance and the facility was clean!

Obvious old plumbing throughout the building creating plumbing noises 24-7. We first thought it was the toilet creating the noise,but quickly realized it was coming from the tub (bubbling pipes nearby). It was an okay stay, but wouldn't recommend it to anyone visiting Banff.

The staff did not pay attention to our request. We had the coffee maker not working. The person whom was attending offered a services 25 to 40 minutes away. We were just making coffee. How can you wait for that long. In general, I had 2 encounters with staff, none very friendly. Lighting little. Rooms, in particular the bathroom, really dark. Toilet high for a child.

We are not sure of our reason of us visiting Banff three years in a row is. Is it to see Banff or to see Elmer at the Banff inn?! We love Banff but the main reason that we think we love coming back to the Banff inn is that it literally feels like home. The professionalism of booking from start to finish with Elmer just takes the stress away whilst planning our holiday. He is super helpful, extremely knowledgeable, always smiling, very proactive in helping all guests with ease and speed. He takes pride in his job and the company values. A great asset to the Banff Inn. The rooms are clean, comfortable and all the rooms have good natrual daylight as well as good lighting. The bathrooms are clean and have space to put your toiletries in. You have to pay for parking now which is a negative for us as we first choose this hotel for its free parking. The rates are too high so you have factor this into your budget if your staying for a week. We found food left on the floor in the carpark for 3 days that had not been cleaned up despite them jet washing one side of the car park. The car park used to always be clean. We heard from another guest there's new management. My suggestion is that they keep the all the previous staff and run it the way it has been. Making changes is not what this property needs in terms of staffing it needs to maintain its original standards because its the perfect place to stay. All the staff make sure of that. Thank you for always looking after us.
