"Very nice hotel, not too far from Banff, and great price for some place to crash for a night or two. Staff were very nice and helpful. A great experience overall. Mattress was exceptional for a motel. Breakfast would have been nice, but I knew they didn't have it when I booked it."

"The host was friendly and the space had everything we needed for the weekend. It was close to grocery stores, restaurants, and in a nice area. Lots of parking available too. The only downside was that the condo was really new and units inside were still being worked on and although the place we stayed was done, it was fairly dusty inside and in the building with all the construction. I’m sure when all the work is finished in the area, that would no longer be a concern!"

10/10 Excellent
"Die FeWo liegt strategisch sehr günstig zwischen Calgary und Kananaskis, beides ist mit einer kurzen Fahrt zu erreichen und man hat das Beste von Stadt und Land. Man muss immer etwas Zeit einplanen, um aus dem Wohngebiet der Ferienwohnung herauszukommen. Die Temparatursteuerung der FeWo ist etwas eigen, aber - für Europäer ungewöhnlich - der Kamin geht auf Schalterbetätigung an.Alles war sauber, die Ausstattung super. Mit den Gastgebern war kaum Kontakt notwendig, aber (die wenigen) Nachrichten wurden umgehend beantwortet. Gerne wieder, falls wir nochmal in die Gegend kommen."
