We were here for our 35th wedding anniversary. As soon as the staff found out, they sent us a hand signed card and two bottles of champagne. Very nice! (Warning: We had to change rooms. The initial 'Orbitz/Expedia/Travelocity room was a dumpy broom closet. The new room was great!)

I was pleasantly surprised by how friendly and helpful the staff was whether it was at the front desk to help check me in or the staff in the restaurant. Every single person I spoke to was wonderful. I was served by I think her name was Tilly (sweet Australian red head) at the bar.. I sat and had dinner because the restaurant was too full and she was incredible to watch work and multitask keeping me entertained. I would definitely come back here again. My room was clean and really cute and I absolutely adore the convenience of this hotel. It is right in the middle of all the shops and restaurants it is such a great location. And no noise, which is wonderful. I definitely recommend this hotel to anyone who wants to try it.

The property was conveniently located in Banff.The hot tub has a nice view, but was dirty around the edges. The guest laundry was filthy. Our AC went on standby and would not go off standby. A tour bus and another blocked us in when returning to the hotel . We had dinner reservations and could not make the time.
