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!

The loft suite with 3 queen beds was perfect for us 3 adult women wanting to stay together. It was cozy but had all we needed. Beds were very comfortable. There is a window up high that isn't covered, so light does come in at night. The hotel restaurant had a great breakfast menu that we enjoyed!

Steven

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Staff were sparse and overworked. Our $500/night room had not been dusted in probably six months, and I am not exaggerating. During our entire two-day stay, the hallway carpeting outside our room (306) was very damp. On the bright side, room was spacious with a nice streetside view. Plenty of dining choices within walking distance.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
In the quieter part of Banff, but a short bus ride to the "downtown" area. The check in process was seamless and the staff was super friendly. The lobby was cute and cozy, perfect for a fireside chat or having a cup of coffee. The underground paid parking is tight - we were often nervous that if we left with our car then we would not have a spot when we returned.
