My stay at the Banff Inn was good. The room was clean, and the bed was comfortable (although my husband found it a bit too soft). The front desk staff were polite and professional. One point to note is that parking was not included; the hotel description mentioned that parking was available, but did not specify that it required payment. This was fine for me, but paid underground parking may be inconvenient for some guests. Additionally, the hotel is a bit far from most of Banff’s shops, restaurants, and commercial areas. It’s within walking distance — about a 15-minute walk from the start of the main commercial area — but it’s something to keep in mind if you prefer to be closer (or during winter, that walk in a -25 degree Celsius can be challenging - in our case :D ). Overall, my experience was positive. I would recommend the Banff Inn and would consider staying there again in the future.

I was charged for two nights and only stayed for one. There was an issue with the timezone when booking and I booked incorrectly. This was booked while in transit from Atlantic Canada so my fault but was disappointing Expedia wouldn't do anything about it. It was booked 10pm for the night of the booking instead of the next day. They wouldn't change it. I will reconsider using Expedia for bookings in the future given the customer service.

Staff were friendly and the room was nice overall. However, it would have been great to have a microwave in the room, as well as disposable slippers for accessing the spa. There were also no tea bags provided—only two sachets of coffee. The biggest disappointment was the spa. We booked this hotel specifically to use the spa facilities, but we tried twice to use the sauna and steam room and both times they weren’t warm at all. These should really be switched on in the morning so they’re ready for guests by 10am. We did use the hot tub but it was quite cold and would be much more enjoyable if it were warmer.
