The hotel's surroundings are relatively safe. Banff lacks restaurants and has a good tourism industry.

This hotel is a nostalgic hotel. While it appears to have been modernized, and walkable, there are some areas that could be improved. The staff invited guests to park in the accessible parking when the small underground lot was full, removing spaces and creating barriers for those who need it. There is plenty of space outside, just need to be informed where the entrances are, as they’re not well marked. The bathroom was updated, had a nice tub and shower. The sink however was a danger trap with jagged corners jetting out about 10 inches from the actual counter space. It’s too high for kids to use by themselves. Also no microwave in the rooms, big draw back when your gone for most of the day and can’t reheat food.

It was my first time in Banff and I couldn’t be more happier with my experience here! I took a shuttle from the airport and arrived a little earlier than expected and they allowed us to check in early with no issue! This location is so close to downtown PLUS is one of the hotels that the tour shuttles stop at. Given that we did not rent a car, we had no issue with getting to our tours, taking the buses as the stop was nearby, or exploring downtown Banff. On our last day, our check out time was earlier than our shuttle back to our airport and they offered to hold our luggave until it was time for us to go. Would definetly recommend and return to this location!

At about 2:30am a group of men came running into the lobby with police chasing them. One got maced, another arrested, screaming that they can’t find multiple suspects and a weapon. It was a long night as our room had a terrace over the lobby. In the morning the staff at the front desk said they didn’t even know it happened. I paid full price for the hotel in the end and Expedia nor the hotel has reached out. I live in lake Louise and I doubt my friends will ever come visit me here again. Very traumatic.

Quick check in, great staff and room was as expected. Hot tub was a little disappointing as the jets didn’t seem to be working very well if at all. I’d definitely stay here again.
