Hotel Location
Guest Reviews & Ratings
The hotel exceeded my expectations with its spacious and comfy rooms featuring 2 queen size beds, a large shower, and a cozy ambiance. The service was exceptional, going the extra mile to upgrade us to the honeymoon suite. Though the dining could use more variety, the location in the heart of Banff offers easy access to all attractions.
The hotel provided a nice and comfortable stay overall. The rooms were spacious and had a super comfortable bed, but there was some noise from outside our room. The service was incredibly helpful and the staff were kind and welcoming. The location was convenient with easy access to restaurants and shops, but some felt it was overpriced. The dining was delicious, although it was closed for some reason during our visit.
The hotel is in a great location, just minutes from the downtown core, with excellent breakfast at the restaurant. The rooms were pretty clean, with a nicely updated bathroom and a view of the mountains, offering a comfortable dining area. The staff was very nice and helpful, especially Sheetal at the front desk, providing useful tips on restaurants and activities, although they didn't compensate me when needed.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with lovely decor, providing practical amenities like a fridge, microwave, and coffee maker. However, the sink outside the bathroom lacks privacy for morning routines.
I was pleasantly surprised by our nice room, which was tidy and clean. However, the sauna in the room was a bit tricky to adjust, and the temperature was higher than the rest of the building. The service was friendly and accommodating, with no noise issues in the renovated rooms. The location was amazing, right in the center of Banff, perfect for walking to most places. The dining experience could have been better, and the in-room price did not match the value received.
The hotel was very quiet and tiny. The rooms were way too hot and lacked cutlery but had useful amenities like glasses, mugs, microwave, and coffee maker. The service was defensive and not customer-friendly at times. The location, although narrow, was walkable to the town center and in great proximity to downtown. The dining was good but slightly pricey. The overall experience offered some positives and negatives.
My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The room was clean and comfortable, but the lack of insulation made it either too hot or quite cool at times. The staff provided good service, although not overly welcoming. The location was very convenient, right on Banff Ave, making it easy to walk into the town center. The dining experience was enjoyable but slightly overpriced. The hotel facilities were satisfactory.
The hotel is in a convenient location on the main street with oversized rooms. The service was fantastic, offering great assistance and suggestions. The dining experience could have been better, but the prices were reasonable. Overall a great value for money stay.
My stay at the hotel was a pleasant surprise! The rooms were very clean and comfortable with a nice jacuzzi, but the service was a bit indifferent at times. The location was fantastic, close to the heart of Banff, and the dining experience was just okay. Overall, a good value for the money.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was great for exploring Banff town center on foot, but the noise from the street and the incomplete renovations in the rooms were drawbacks. The service was a bit hit or miss with varying levels of courtesy. Dining options were good but slightly overpriced. However, the facilities were decent overall.
The hotel had a mix of pros and cons. The rooms were large, super clean, and tidy, but the lighting was terrible and the noise level was high. The service was extremely helpful and friendly, but there were instances of loud cleaning early in the morning and some staff members appeared disinterested. The location was conveniently close to downtown and tourist attractions, but could be challenging in inclement weather. The dining experience was fantastic, yet pricey. Overall, a stay with some noteworthy highlights and drawbacks.
The hotel is located perfectly in the middle of the strip, making it convenient to most stores. The rooms, although a bit small, were satisfactory, but the noise level was a bit disruptive, sounding like a concrete mixer. The service was average, with some staff being helpful but not very welcoming. The location is great for accessing the main stores but could have been more central. The dining options were fantastic, with tasty food at reasonable prices. The facilities were minimal but adequate for a short stay.
