There are no pretenses for the Inn. The decor is dated and worn but the condition was clean. There are no bells and whistles but all basic necessities were there. Our room was a good size (2 queen beds) as was the bathroom. The best feature was the proximity to downtown. A short walk, which cost markedly more at the other resorts along the way. If you are okay with the basics then the value can be had. The restaurant next door has a strange mix of offerings but was good and obviously convenient.

The staff was amazing and it was right on the main strip so it was very convenient! The parking garage was kind of tight though and the ceiling was pretty low so that would've been good to know before arriving.

The location is in the center of Banff near to all amenities. The hotel provides parking and gives a free public transit pass which is great for getting around. The hot tub is clean and well kept. The staff is efficient, friendly and informative. My only complaint is that the hotel is in dire need of renovations, especially the floors where the very old carpeting should be removed and replaced with something healthier. The El Toro restaurant next door serves a decent breakfast for about $16 but don’t order coffee or tea since it’s not included and they charged $4.50 for a coffee! The breakfast at A&W is about $12 and is just as good and includes coffee. I realize that the hotel rates in the Banff area are high so I won’t complain too much about the superior room we booked for $342 a night but we had no choice. If you can get a standard room I would go for that.

The room was very spacious, quiet and clean. However, the bathroom seems to have been recently upgraded but the rest of the room was a little outdated which gave the impression of being unclean (although it was). The transit pass was a nice bonus and the location made it very accessible to everything we wanted to do and see. Overall, it was a enjoyable stay and would definitely stay there again.
