Was the perfect place to stay while in Banff. Location was great, walk to all the shops and restaurants, right in the river with views of the mountains. Guests also receive discounted Ski Big 3 lift tickets which was a great surprise. 10/10 would stay again.

The best thing about this hotel is the location--it is close to most of the main downtown attractions, and beside the river with the walking path. Yet it is also in a nice quiet location. Use of the pool and hot tub at the hotel next door is included as well.
