This hotel was a good choice for us since Brewster Express picked us up the next morning for a trip to Calgary Airport. Also, Banff Everyday Tours was able to drop us off here after our tour to Lake Louise & Moraine Lake and other points.

Parking is great, hotel is a dump

Staff was helpful and friendly. The hotel was extra run down and dirty. We requested a room with fridge and microwave and they delivered a dirty microwave. Over priced for age and cleanliness. Only plus was covered parking.

Great place to stay along Banff Ave

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.

Overall a pleasant stay

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 Stay in Downtown Banff

The room setup was a little weird with no tv by the couch and the second bed near the door. Restaurant in hotel had good breakfast and wasn’t a bad walk to downtown.

The room is was shabby, uncleaned dor years. The carpet smelled , the linen had stain marks. The bed was so uncomfortable, im pregnant and it made me so much uncomfortable to sleep the entire night!! To add to the problem, we found a bee clinging on the curtains. Definitely not worth the price please be careful before booking it
