Great Ski Trip Stay

Stayed one night for a ski trip, great hotel. The location is phenomenal, the beds are super comfy, and the room is very nice with great views. Only downside is one of the two small hot tubs was functional.

The property was pretty with good ammenities and a central location I just found the staff to be a little bit rude and dismissive. We were a younger group and I just felt as though because of our age we weren’t taken seriously. And that’s kind of dissapointing considering how much we paid. But it’s okay lesson learned there’s so many beautiful hotels in Banff. If you’re looking for a rooftop hot tub I’d reccomend the moxy banff over this place. The staff make the experience and this was a poor one because of that.

Hotel Review

The check in staff need a course in pleasantries. The room was laid out awkwardly. The TV was on the wall to the left of the bed leaving watching TV in bed impossible. It could be set up much better. Location of the hotel however is excellent.

It was a shame that one of the hot tub was broken and had construction around the top section and spoilt the experience as that the roof top was why we choose the hotel, will check with the hotel first and then book the fox
