We’ve stayed at this hotel before and like the previous time, we enjoyed our stay. Check-in is easiest through their mobile app and the key is accessible through your phone. The room was modern and clean. Plenty of parking spaces available and street parking is available as well. Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel.

When we first walked in there was a pop can under the bed so I’m assuming they don’t clean there floors there where long brown hairs in the bed and on the pillows I didn’t appreciate the front desk saying our room number at check in as when i worked in Banff that was a big no no because of safety the room we where in was right under where the staff do laundry or there cleaning room so we counsel heard them slamming the door all day the cups in the bath rooms also had water residue marks on them so I was afraid those maybe won’t cleaned either.

Unfortunately, three rooms that we were shown were dirty, with trash under one of the beds, stains on most of the sheets, and hair throughout the bathrooms. Ended up canceling and booking elsewhere.
