This is a nice property for the most part. There are a number of rooms that they provide that have an indoor balcony overlooking the front entrance and foyer. The first night the staff were cleaning or moving furniture until 11:30 pm and started again at 630 am. The second night there were people sitting on couches in the front foyer being very loud. Around midnight I finally called down and asked if the front desk could attend to it. They tried it didn’t work. I feel sorry for the staff it’s not their fault. Management should never offer these rooms to customers, I checked all my docs no warning about noise and disruption of sleep in this room. Poor decision on the part of this property.

Was a good price for one night right downtown and we liked that it included underground parking. Was a great start! However the bathrooms were so small, and the walls were paper thin. All night, we could hear other guests talking, especially in the morning. It felt like they were in our room it was so echoey. Kept us awake most of the night. Another thing is both the beds didn’t have fitted sheets which we didn’t notice until the morning when making the bed. They used a regular sheet that was tucked to act like a fitted sheet but it only covered 3/4 of the bed, exposing the bottom half of the mattress? We had never seen that before! Very sloppy lol. First time staying here and honestly we wouldn’t stay there again.

Ptarmigan is ideally situated for downtown Banff and the bus stop for Sunshine Village and Lake Louise ski resorts are right outside the door. Rooms are kept clean and ski lockers were included in the price. The beds were remarkably comfortable and the staff were very helpful. Generally speaking despite being a little tired in areas- it is a perfect base for a ski trip at a very good price point. We would return for sure.

We loved this hotel. It was the perfect walk to downtown Banff with it still being on the main strip. The staff and hotel and even the restaurant plus the hot tub area were all super clean and friendly. The only downside to this hotel is that the balcony’s aren’t in the sun and you are facing super close to the other hotel’s balcony's. Thank you for making it such a good weekend, we would definitely book again!

We loved that it was so close to the shopping downtown in Banff. The free unground parking was great as it had just snowed. The staff was friendly and awesome and the room was big and very clean and comfortable. It doesn’t have a pool so my daughter and her husband and family would not stay there. I missed the mountain view from my room but everything else was great. I would try the restaurant and hot tub next time.
