Great location far enough away from downtown Banff but only a free short bus ride to get to anywhere in town. Very comfortable room and great service. My only negative was the wifi service, very intermittent.

Good location, beautiful mountain view from main street, lots of shops to browse, complimentary underground parking was excellent, good food at The Keg on site. However, furnishings were tired-looking; usual bathroom amenities were lacking (had to request a shower cap).. I was offended by $100 damage deposit; also it took a week to reimburse that charge on my credit card!

Everything was great with the exception of 2 things. 1) I booked a room with Queen size beds. The beds we got were doubles. 2) our room was right over the hotel receiving bay, so at all hours of the night we would hear trucks backing up and people going in and out.
