Room was decent and clean, however was very hot. Turned the heat down but the room still remained very hot all night. Also not nearly enough parking available, was full when we arrived and we had to pay for street parking at $7/hour which added up very quickly.

Great staff, fantastic location. Hotel is a little dated and hot tubs were not working properly which was disappointing as it was part of why we booked this specific hotel. But overall good stay.

I always stay at the Mount Royal when I visit Banff. The staff are great and the location is perfect — close to everything. The only downside is that the hot tub could use an update, as the jets are very loud and sound like they might be broken. Otherwise, it’s a great place to stay.
