Liked: Cleanliness
This property is adequate for a good nights sleep. In general the building, including the lobby and rooms, are dated, and worn, but clean. It is very quiet, the rooms facing the Bow river have a lovely view, the mattresses were comfortable. The location is great. Banff Avenue is only two blocks away, and the Bow river trails are just outside the door.
