Dated Property in Excellent Location
The location of the property is perfect! You are literally just up the mountain from downtown and the first stop as you come up the mountain for the #2 bus (which the hotel gives you a pass to ride the bus for free). It was a 12-15 minute easy downhill walk for us into downtown Banff and you can take the bus back. It is quiet and beautiful up in this area. We had a balcony porch with views of the mountain with table and chairs and that was a real treat! The room had a comfortable queen bed, a wood burning fireplace (with wood to burn), a full kitchen and a sofa sleeper. We had everything we needed for our stay and the staff were always helpful and accommodating. This is an older property that has been well used so the Formica counters were worn and in need of replacement. The carpet in the room was fine and seemed to be recently replaced, but the carpet in the halls was not in good shape. Everything was functional, but dated, so for us it worked. The pool area under the front lobby was not functional or open, but they have a waterslide area and both an indoor and outdoor hot tub. We enjoyed the hot tub after our long hikes (some jets were working and some not, but there was a good amount of room and jets to enjoy). There is no restaurant or food on the property. It has the things you need in terms of the room, but it doesn't feel like a resort and it is definitely well used. For the price, it was clean and had what we needed. Parking was convenient and easy. Good staff!
