Have stayed many times and enjoyed our stay again. Disappointed by the fitness area which needs to be updated (equipment doesn't work) . Prices are getting a bit steep. Spa was top notch. We'll be back.

Well, the shower didnt drain properly, the toilet recycled every 1/2 hour, two metalic noises loudly sounded when it was windy. They moved me to a different room finally but the fireplace didn't work And it was supposed to be newly remodeled but they did a poor job. I would not go back here, it was not worth the money plus they would not give me a discount due to the aggravation suffered during the stay.

No robes in room. Trying calling down numerous times no answer. Rooms to utilities left open. Staff not helpful or friendly when trying to get to our room. Acted as if we were a bother. Would be great if the bathrooms had a fan and maybe a makeup light. Toilet seat is so close to counter - super weird.

Excellent location and services, lots of dining options available around this hotel and the Keg in the Lobby area. the only negative, is the property is dated and in need of a refresh. The furniture and condition of the property is a bit worn out. However, I believe this is the case with most of Banff hotels as there is a vary high turnaround of traffic through this beautiful area.

The room is quite nice! Beds are comfortable but the pillows are too thick. The decor is very nice but the designer of the bathroom didn’t do their job very well. The toilet is too close to the shelves and is not to building code standards. The sink depth is too deep and doesn’t hold water. The noise from the hallway pressurization shaft that is directly across from Room 464 is too loud. Mechanical consultant needs to adjust it to reduce the noise. Love the heated parkade.
