Solid choice. The Keg is part of the building for breakfast and dinner opportunity. Breakfast is not included in your overnight price so add roughly $30 a person for this. Great to park car for free underneath the hotel. Can also store ski equipment in locker.

They called and asked me if i wanted and "upgrade" to my room at no extra charge, but it was not an upgrade at all. It was a smaller room with one less bed in the corner of the hotel. This "upgrade" was very cramped and odly shaped

Decent average stay

Bed was clean, bathroom was good. Room seemed small and cozy for a decent price. Few upsets: No air regulation was maintained, so entered a very hot room. View from window- not good. It was inside of a property, not something you would want in Banff despite of paying decent price. Hot tub- good, but eyes were burning by 5 mins. Something was off, in the tub.

Property is at wonderful location and we got a room facing mountains which was lovely experience. Though the place was nice but we were deceived thinking this is place has a cave basin which was showed in pictures plus the washbasin sink in washroom was clogged . Thank you !
