Fantastic customer service with a beautiful view and unexpected bonus of the hotel essentially doubling as an Indigenous artist gallery- a great stay! I hadn’t anticipated there wasn’t a microwave in the suite but everything else was top notch, with amazing view and service as well as ground coffee and a French press for the morning. Would have stayed longer!!

The view from the 1st floor deluxe room was spectacular. The only thing i would say that is a "negative" is how close all the rooms are to each other and you could see into the next room if you stepped out to enjoy the deck. Aside from that, highly recommend.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The service was excellent — the two receptionists at the front desk were warm, welcoming, and very friendly. The hotel also offers a complimentary shuttle to downtown Banff, which was such a great convenience. The driver was kind and shared interesting stories about the area along the way. Overall, the atmosphere of the hotel is cozy, warm, and inviting — a perfect place to stay in Banff.”

Delightful hotel!

Beautiful setting conveniently close to Banff, yet far enough away to be peaceful, and the shuttle into the town was very handy. I particularly loved that there were bathrobes, not just towels, and all the staff were helpful and friendly.

Location is very nice. Unfortunately the hotel is very old and dated. The rooms are just ok, and the washroom was awful. They need to renovate badly. Not worth the almost $600 a night.

I have stayed in this hotel and as always staff are helpful and friendly. Since the hotel is a few minutes away from downtown, shuttle is needed. The shuttle service is limited and the time available is very limited. They only service between 10am to 6pm and very often not available since I think only 1 shuttle is available. Other than the limited service, the place has nice views even if the structure is little dated. Snd the staff are helpful and friendly.
