I’ve had a great experience so far. I like the affordability compared to other places around. I was a little disappointed to know the pool/hot tub etc were in a separate building, but in the end it’s worked out ok.

The location couldn’t be better—just by the river and few minutes from the heart of town, making it perfect for exploring the town. What stood out the most was the exceptionally warm and helpful staff. I would highly recommend this place if anyone is looking for convenience, comfort, and excellent service in Banff!
