Very good
We verify reviews to ensure the traveller booked with Expedia Group. Travellers may receive a savings voucher when they submit a review. We publish all reviews, positive or negative, that meet our guidelines.
The room was very nice looking and clean. Seating area w/sofa. However, the bed was very close to the wall, and difficult to get in and out of. No nightstand or light on wall side of bed, so rather cramped. Same with the bathroom. Very beautiful shower and vanity, but door so close to the vanity that it was difficult to get into the bathroom. Overall, nice room, but not for more than 1-2 nights. Front desk very helpful.
The staff was pretty friendly and i loked the quiet time rule after 10 pm

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Overall a great experience. Forgot to set out the “do not disturb” as I became conditioned with hotels in Canmore that only clean/replace towels upon request in an effort to be eco conscious. The bathroom didn’t have a fan and around the shower/the shower ceiling there was damage water damage occurring.
