The room was cozy and clean. I thought it was tight for 7 people. (Better for 6 or less.) The steam room and sauna are tired looking, but they worked. The dishwasher needed some adjusting to get it to slide out. The firewood bundles and free a.m. coffee are a nice touch.

Great location. Comfortable with transportation to Banff downtown. Minor improvements will make this place even better: There are no dressing mirrors other than the one in the bathroom in the premium suite we stayed in. No chain lock for the entry door.

The condo itself was a great space that was clean and well stocked. The property could use some updating in terms of the laundry room, gym and just overall up keep. I would recommend to stay here! The staff was very helpful, our condo was the perfect size to cook meals and was clean and also a short distance into the town of Banff. About a 3-4 minute drive.

Old, rundown, poorly managed

This was, emphasis on was once a beautiful property. Reviews and the rating stars are of the past not the present condition.the place is rundown, poorly managed and in desperate need of repairs, upkeep, maintenance and updating. It is so filthy, that we tossed the socks we used to walk on the floors. Equipment being old, and the place being filthy was topped by unfamiliar and unhelpful from the staff who attempted to help that seem to be unfamiliar with their property and their job. The carpets were old and dirty, couch was stained all over made you uncomfortable to sit and they laminated floor sticky even when you were walking with your socks on. Lack of care is present everywhere including all the remotes with the battery door hanging and not closing even the replacement ones that they gave us, a broken old coffee pot a percolator one that doesn't work, dry powder milk creamer coffee creamer and a tea selection that is only orange pico and a place that is Kitchener equipped by without a single roll of paper towel or anything to wipe with

OK but surprises were negative not positive

Clean but property and room are dated. Furniture and carpet old and dirty appearance. There was no air conditioning!!! This should be clear when booking and was not for me. "Shuttle" to/from town is via a public transportation prepaid card - not any sort of private shuttle. No views. at least from our room location. It was fine, but for the high cost I expected a great deal more; we could have stayed downtown for same cost.
