We had such a wonderful stay at The Dorothy Motel in Banff! The rooms were super clean, modern, and cozy with beautiful mountain vibes. The bed was very comfortable and everything felt fresh and well maintained. The location is peaceful and surrounded by nature, yet still close enough to downtown Banff. It was nice being slightly away from the busy center but still having easy access to everything. One of the best parts was having access to the hot pools and sauna at the nearby partner property — it made the stay even more relaxing after a long day exploring the mountains. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the overall atmosphere felt welcoming and comfortable. I would definitely stay here again and recommend it to anyone visiting Banff!

The room can use more of a clean. Found a dead fly on the window ledge and something dried up on the floor. The flooring is very interesting which makes it hard to spot the dirt. But the location/parking is convenient. The beds are comfortable so we had great sleep for the two nights we stayed. For the price we paid, it was a decent stay.

The Dorothy motel is fully renovated.Nice size of room,clean.I was just in shock with desinger choice of flooring it really didn't much with wallpaper and bathroom tiles.The heating element fan was really loud.We had to turned it off for the night. Otherwise it was very quiet place we didn't hear trafic noise or neighbors. Overall I would recomend this motel for the value. It was a nice touch that you have an access to Canoes hotel pools.
