Tried out this new hotel in Banff. They are sister hotels with the Canoe hotel next door. While not 100% complete, the service was great and the rooms very clean. The rooftop hot tub next door was super warm in the cold wintertime. And the restaurant was quaint and food was great. As a platinum hotels.com member I was upgraded and received a $25 dining credit. And the front receptionist Petra was super helpful!
