Toilet was on the fritz, no placard to request no housekeeping, they went into our room while we were away without telling us to “fix” the toilet. Poor lighting in vanity for getting ready. Water damage around tub. Left feeling overcharged, but I enjoyed the view
Incredible view, easy check-in experience, and very nice rooms.
My only note is that there needs to be a longer runner carpet for getting in the door and taking shoes off. It was a wet weekend, and our floor got pretty messy.

It was an okay place to put our heads down. We did see a gross spot on our down douvet. I cleaned something else (Gross spot) from shower curtain which should be changed out for a clean one. Room is sure from the 70-80's & I saw newer remodeled rooms when I was searching. I will not book here again.
great location, super close to everything. Right beside the Drake pub which is a great spot for food and drinks. rooms are spacious, recommend it. Super close to everything.

Great friendly staff. Great location, walk to about anywhere. Clean comfy beds and great hot shower.
Staff as always were super friendly and accommodating. The room was clean, and well maintained. Best value in Canmore by a mile, only bummer was the pub was closed!

Our room was clean and had an amazing view. Staff was friendly and check in was very quick. My only complaint was we couldn’t watch TV as the batteries in the remote were dead and the front office was closed.
