Beds were very comfortable. Check-in and out was easy. Having The Keg in the hotel for breakfast, lunch and dinner is super convenient. Make sure to make a reservation early!! Only complaint is how noisy it is. Sound travels from the hallway and other rooms really easy.

Room was not cleaned well. Sticky door handle in bathroom. Dirty spots on floor. Old lumpy pillows. Fridge had a can of dog food in it. It’s a bit dirty for my liking. Bed mattress was comfortable, albeit very squeaky.

Had breakfast in the keg Saturday morning. Service was very slow not busy our waitress was very unpleasant and felt like she was bothered that we were there. Also we had asked for a side of bacon to get a huge plate of dry old bacon off the buffer. Disappointed. Hotel absolutely great.

Great stay with my wife and 2 kids (4 &9) in Jan 2026. Parking was SO convenient since it was so cold. Hot tub was great, restaurant on site was very good as well, buffet or menu for breakfast. Right outside the busy part of Banff, so it was quiet. Convenient coin laundry and lockers for ski/snow stuff.
