Good underground parking. The hotel is starting to show it's age but Banff is so busy and skiers are hard on rooms with the ski bags etc. Very clean, you never smelled ski boots.

It was just downhill from the start.. Granted I arrived a bit later than expected, the desk staff was too busy on their cell phones to pay much attention. The parking situation is ridiculous, first come first serve for a parking garage that will barely fit a standard suv. The hotel fireplace although welcoming and warming in the lobby made the entire floor smell like smoke. I was given an Expedia member voucher which I was told I had to use that night, with staff knowing their restaurants were closing in 15 min, and not able to use on the day I departed. The elevator, the hallways, all dirty, the room was very similar. Lastly in the middle of the night all I could hear was chewing in the walls, this place definitely has rodents. It’s just an old run down place that needs a solid cleaning and an update to bring it to the level of other hotels in the area. Without making a big deal of things, I tried expressing my displeasure to the desk staff upon checkout but they are young and simply don’t care or understand. Thankfully I was only there for one night. I would strongly encourage staying almost anywhere else in Banff.

We have stayed at this hotel many times. Some staff were excellent and got upgraded for good price to a mountain suite. The suite had an amazing view of the mountains. Cuddos to Emily for doing that for us!

Cosy room in an updated older hotel, excellent price. Nice mountain vibe. Very friendly, attentive staff. Best shower in Banff - terrific pressure and lots of hot water. Good restaurant on site. Hot pool temperature was just right after a day of skiing. Would return.

Room needed vacuuming. Floor lamp didn’t work and white lampshade had yellow stains and a dead bug on it. Found a comb on floor alongside bedframe while I was looking for my earbud that fell down. Along with a couple of black pebbles or something black and hard.
