The underground hot tub designed to look like the Banff Cave and Basin is the coolest part of this hotel. That’s the main reason I’d recommend it. The hotel itself is good, in a perfect location on Banff Avenue.

Hotel in need of some TLC

For the price, the condition of the hotel was pretty poor. In need of repairs. I was expecting a lot more for $700/night compared to the same style loft suit at the tunnel mountain resort for $455 which I found in much better shape.

The restaurant was not clean. We noticed that the window ledges next to our table were dusty and filled with salt or sugar or something similar. Looked like they hadn't been cleaned in years. The shower curtain in our room was moldy at the bottom. Yuck!

It was the most relaxed stay we’ve had we spent so much time in the cave pool I loved it. Only downside was our shower was plugged so we showered in a few inches of water and there isn’t a fridge or microwave. It overall was the best stay I’ve had with my partner. I loved it.

Terrible Stay. We have booked with Expedia many times this is by far the worst experience. Hotel room was dirty staff ignored when I mentioned it and just said oh I’ll upgrade you for additional money instead of addressing the issue. The room they upgraded us too was still dirty and additionally the toilet was broken. I complained and they refused to fix the toilet. WORST Experience ever I won’t be coming back. Hot pools were nice though

Lofted suite was nice, but in need of repairs. Main room thermostat was malfunctioning, TV remote was broken, cleaning staff did not clean floors daily, and failed to replenish the coffee and condiment supplies after the first day. The hot tub feature in the hotel is amazing, but was quickly disappointed by the mediocre temperature of the water. Nice facility, but not worth the 400 per night charged.

Room was clean and neat. The only issue was the thin walls, your neighbors walking thru their rooms was loud. The chilis onsite was fantastic. The employees at the hotel and chilis were all helpful and friendly. The gym was tiny and equipment was old and about to fall apart. If you're ok with just doing weights, you'll get by ok. No treadmill.
