Another great stay with no complaints. One of the roof top hot tubs was under construction so we had a small wait to use the one after a day of skiing, however we sat and had a drink in the lounge which was great! Amazing views and great service.

Amazing value for money for Banff. Staff was very helpful. Only downside is that it can get loud outside from bars and there's no fan or something to drown out the noise. Otherwise perfect location!

Great stay. We got a free room upgrade to a better view. Only downside was the hot tub area didn’t have staff so we couldn’t purchase a drink, but it also said no personal drinks allowed. Great location, shops and restaurants in walking distance, beautiful views!

The ladies at the reception were very welcoming and accomodating. We had a nice view of the mountains. Our room was ready a few hours before the check in time. Didn't have a chance to use the hot tub because of time constraints. I enjoyed the water in the lobby and the free coffe and tea in the morning. We will try Brazen restaurant next time.

Perfect perfect perfect!!!

Went on a girls trip with my friends for my birthday and this hotel is so amazing! It’s location is perfect and the staff are so sweet, they let us check in early as our room was ready and the room was so clean and the beds were so comfortable as well! The parking was also only 10 dollars per day which was a great price considering we were in Banff. I went with two of my friends and there were only two robes in the room (standard) and we asked for another one, and the staff wasted no time to give us a third. In the time that it took us to get to the room from the lobby, someone already came to drop off the robe to our room! We also asked for a later check out time and they let us check out an hour later than we were supposed to wish was a blessing. The restaurant Brazen that was also in the hotel was absolutely amazing! The food was outstanding quality and the service as well! I cannot wait to come back again!

Excellent location for staying in Banff. The restaurant is very good and the service is good. The only problem is the carpet in the hallway that looks old but that is all.

The hotel staff are very friendly, the hotel and rooms are clean and well maintained. It’s the perfect location if you want to be close to everything on Main Street. I hoped there would be more of a view of Main Street from the rooftop hot tubs but it was still nice to have them. We didn’t eat at the restaurant in the hotel but it looked nice! There wasn’t a lot of noise from outside although we were there during the week. The rooms definitely let in sound from the hallway and we were unfortunately beside a maintenance room and in the morning we heard the door open and slam shut constantly from staff. But even with that, I will definitely stay here again! I will request a room not so close to staff areas and elevators however.
