Great location (we could walk to all the downtown shops and restaurants). The hotel restaurant is small but good. Rooms are large. We paid for daily parking at the hotel, but didn't need it. We recommend taking public transport.

This is a good location for exploring Banff. You can walk or drive to town. I would suggest you find out about the Roam bus and take into town, parking is horrible and expensive. Hotel website mentions complimentary bottled water but it depends on who is working the front desk whether you get it or not. Carlito’s Pizzaria is a good place to eat!
