This was our 3rd time staying at elk and avenue and it was really good to stay there again. Our tv did not work in our room and when my husband called the front desk, Matthew and Darren came to fix our tv, after trying a few things that did not work we were upgraded to a suite. Not only that but Matthew helped us to move to our new room. Both gentlemen were extremely kind to us and apologized for us having to move rooms. We loved our suite.

Room 249

Unfortunately, our room didn’t offer a nice view, as it was blocked by a large rooftop air conditioning unit. It was also a bit disappointing that the hotel doesn’t serve breakfast. However, the restaurant and café next door more than made up for it. The location was excellent—right in the heart of town, with easy access to shops and restaurants. Parking wasn’t ideal; even though we paid for it, spots aren’t guaranteed as it depends on how many guests are staying. Thankfully, we were able to park inside for our entire stay. Despite a few minor drawbacks, we still truly enjoyed our time there.

We stay at this hotel for only one night as my daughter was having knee surgery in Banff the next day. I asked customer service if it was possible to leave her a “get well soon” note on he bed and they did it in a very nice way. My daughter was very excited

We booked and the original room assigned was not to our satisfaction. This was totally our fault as we inadvertantly booked a pet friendly room that we didn't need. Upon speaking to the desk staff, they immediately changed our booking to a corner room on the 2nd floor. It was wonderful. The hotel is nicely renovated but still portrays lots of European charm.

We raided a concern and the front desk clerk looked after us. We appreciated her listening and looking after us. I suggest the restaurant inside the hotel, very good food, nice ambiance. I have stayed there multiple times in the past and will be back again. Great location!
