We stayed here for our wedding this past weekend and it was ok the food in the restaurant was ok. But we had to drive everywhere to get food, snacks and entertainment which was really inconvenient. Besides that everything was good.

Great location - short safe walk to town. Very friendly and helpful staff. Nice service - with $15 parking - they do wash your windows at night so you can enjoy the views of Banff without all the bug stains on the windshield.
