Restaurant was great and fast for breakfast. Comfortable bed. Room was dark because lamps were small and only by the bed. Balcony overlooked a building with other balconies. Convenient to downtown Banff.

Great location that’s a short walk to the heart of downtown Banff. Friendly/helpful staff. Room was nice. A bit pricy, but I guess that’s to be expected from Banff in the summer!

The hotel was ok. Great location, but it lacked touches that could have made it go from ok to good. The lighting in the room was terrible. Really dark. Little things such as being provided the extra supplies for the third person in the room when we asked were forgotten or a map of the area which was not available. However the staff were nice and the room was clean.
