Good enough

Hotel staff really friendly, save at the restaurant where they were slow and a little rude. Buffalo suite is a little on the small side for a family of four but nice enough, though in need of a spruce up and some maintenance.

Allison

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service
I was appalled at the condition of this hotel room. It reeked of second hand smoke enough to give us a headache, the shower curtain was disgustingly smelly, the bathub and tiles were stained, and there was dust on surfaces. All in all a very tired unit. Also the front desk staff was surly and unhelpful. We were tired after a long drive and these problems did not become obvious until we had settled in for the night so we did not have sufficient time to complain (besides, this is exhausting to have to do and given the quality of the staff, I was not confident it would be rectified). I stayed at many great hotels during my vacation and this was by far the worst - and all for $400! The most frustrating part is that I read the Google reviews beforehand and they were generally positive. Go figure. What a disappointment. Glad we were only stuck here one night!

Fab hotel - just a little too far out of Banff

Lovely stay. Hotel is not in Banff CBD. Too far to walk into town - and especially back (up a steep hill). There are $2 public bus services. Room product great. Love the open fire. Bathrooms huge. Lovely woodland views. Front desk staff fab.

It was a relaxing stay (considering the location and views), but the bathroom must be more cleaned after each guests’ stay. Saw gunks and stains, which made it uncomfortable to use the washroom. It might sound picky, but cleanliness must be more checked…

Great Location but Not Quiet

The location of this hotel is great - away from the busy downtown and just a mile walk or take the bus (bus stop right outside the hotel). Also nice hikes nearby. The downside is it’s not quiet - there are other hotels/people off the main road all hours of the night and I could hear the family below me all the time. Had to wear my earplugs to sleep.
