You can take the bus to the Banff downtown area (or by walk). The facility is relatively small and old, but the people are very nice and the room is pretty clean.

$677 for a room that is really small. When you open the bathroom door it hits the toilet 😔 No A/C but they do provide a fan in the room. The room was clean and staff friendly. Keg steakhouse in the lobby.
