We stayed for 2 nights and the staff and property were excellent. The staff were very friendly, helpful and clearly loved their job which is so refreshing to see. Property was very clean and inviting. Thank you!!
Property is a short 10 minute walk to the core tourist area of downtown - lovely neighbourhood and always felt safe. Staff were all very helpful and welcoming...breakfast was expensive. Many restaurants within a 10 minute walk - a Keg steakhouse is closest - just a two minute walk.
I like the look of the furniture. Nice quality and classic. The bed frame, coffee table are nicely designed with twisted wood edges, looks nice and good quality. The shower is hot and powerful, gives me a nice feel especially after a long trip. But the service in the restaurant is not so good. Nobody serve you waiting to get a table. Wait for long for the food and the waitress attitude is poor ( no smiling and rude)
The pools were amazing, thebroom was cool. Bed was very clean and lots of pillows but slightly too firm for me personally (recovering from some injuries so sensitive)
Banff is fantastic- royal Canadian lodge not so much
There was a lack of initiative to make it a sold experience and we’re more interested in catering to the large tour group. Don’t know if this is due to sale of property but felt at times there was a transition that left guests a bit in the lurch. The lack of extra effort to check on our needs would have made the difference. I had to initiate any change of towels, trash exchange and food service and bar were not consistent in terms of being open. Glad we did not depend on eating there or it could have been difficult. Also small stuff like lack of ice machine working, and being dated in look and very loud air conditioning made it a unusually weak experience compared to our many other VRBO places.
Our room was spacious and clean. The front desk and servers in the dining room were very nice. If I had a recommendation, it would be to reduce the breakfast prices, as it was very expensive. I also would recommend creating "points of interest" maps like the Rimrock hotel does. We used theirs and it was incredibly helpful.
