The hotel is pretty average overall. It’s definitely outdated and could use some improvements, especially when it comes to the mattresses and small details like the shower curtain, which was worn out. That being said, I think you mostly pay for the location which is a big plus , it’s within walking distance to all the shops, restaurants, and everything you might need

This hotel was a good choice for us since Brewster Express picked us up the next morning for a trip to Calgary Airport. Also, Banff Everyday Tours was able to drop us off here after our tour to Lake Louise & Moraine Lake and other points.
