Hotel is charming and super close to Banff Ave. The rooms could use with a little refreshing - a fresh coat of paint on the walls and ceiling would be nice. The room and bathroom were clean and fresh. Staff was helpful and friendly. Restaurant was excellent- best dining experience we’ve had in awhile. Great food, drinks, and staff.
