Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Overpriced. Carpets dirty. Garbage left in hallway. Tv viewing options poor. Hotel needs a complete refurbishment. Not good value in any way. Paid 4 star price for 2 star hotel.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel was very conveniently located to walk around Banff and take bus to the gondola. The breakfast was delicious! Our room was beautiful!
Hotel is in good location grocery store very close. However the included breakfast is poor and not appealing, the gym is a joke 1 bike, 1 elliptical and 1 bench all crowded together with no work out rooms. 2 hot tubs are old one jets don’t work at all other barely works . Overall hotel is very warm in public area’s and rooms safes in room don’t work

Daire was amazing in helping us change rooms. Everyone we encountered was friendly and accommodating. The beds are very comfortable and the rooms clean and smelled fresh. Only suggestion I have would be to extend breakfast until 10:30 am.
