The view from Cascade gardens
This beautiful garden is often missed by tourist visiting Banff, Alberta. The Cascades of Time Garden is located at the end of Banff Avenue and on the way to the Banff Springs Hotel in a five-hectare plot of land, which also includes the Banff Parks administration building. Approximately 50,000 annuals are planted by the May long weekend and in place until the first frost, often in September. (July 2019)

8/10 Very Good! (2,770 reviews)
Affordable accommodations. Free shuttle into downtown. Bed was comfy. Quite a few things required maintenance - hot tub jets, pools and hot tubs needed a deep clean, walls requiring replastering. Kitchen is basic but does the trick for breakfasts

The cave hot tub was nice. Clean but hotel is old and musty smell. The gym was small and old. I like the two levels for the room up and downstairs and the room was on the street was nice access and easy.
