Wasnt as clean as i anticipated as other hotels in the area. Towels had stains on them from other guests and room was overall pretty gross. Check in lady was pretty rude, meals from the keg had hair in the salad which was awful. Photos advertised showed a pool and an outdoor swim area but all it is is 1 hottub. Overall felt quality was poor and left disappointed

It’s a basic hotel in Banff but good for the price. Man at reception tried to sell us a rn upgrade when we checked in but room no bigger - just with a tiny balcony overlooking road! Situated at one end of Main Street and a 15/20 min walk to down town. Can get shuttle outside if needed. Lovely spa downstairs!

Emily helped us check in and met all of mine and my girlfriend’s needs, it was our 5 year anniversary so Emily was nice enough to give us a complimentary bottle of sparkling wine. She gave us a very thorough list of exceptional restaurants for us to check out in the evening, got us bus tickets for 3 days, and a parking pass for our vehicle. Highly recommend this property. Thanks a lot Emily.

While a bit farther from downtown, it is still walkable (1.3 miles). Also the Roam bus stop is 30 seconds from the hotel. Having the complementary bus pass was great. Staff were helpful. The Keg restaurant is expensive but has great food and wine, and the servers are all delightful. One of the most beautiful mountains is right behind the hotel but sadly there isn't any common outdoor area at the hotel to sit and enjoy the view. Room cleaning left a little to be desired. We did not realize that the pool shown on the web site is actually a giant hot tub. This would have been fine but the chlorine is so strong we couldn't use it. Our eyes were burning after just popping in to see it upon arrival.
