Good location, walking distance to the main street of Banff and the train station. The hotel is clean and renovated and the room is spacious. There is a restaurant and coffee shop at the hotel. One issue is that you could hear some waterline sounds from the fridge/bathroom area, could be an issue to light sleepers. Overall it is a comfy and nice hotel.

Wonderful hotel centrally located.
Check in was a breeze. Parking, like almost all parking in Banff is tough. The spots are small and vehicles are rarely small. The elevators were fast and the room was fantastic. The coffee shop and the restaurant were both fabulous. I will stay again for sure.

Very good hotel in great location
Very good stay. Hotel was in excellent condition and in an excellent location. Shirley at reception was very helpful. Limited head room in the parking garage (6'1") and our pick up truck was too tall. We were given a parking spot right behind the hotel - good location. Shirley also upgraded our room - moving from pet friendly first floor to room on second floor. Restaurant is very good although quite expensive

The location was perfect, the restaurant Farm & Fire serves delicious food, and the Good Earth Coffeehouse's drinks were good. The staff was friendly and helpful. I was disappointed about the rooms that we have reserve since February, I reserve 2 double bed rooms and I was given two rooms with a view to a wall, the rug of one of the rooms had stained spots everywhere. As soon as I went into the room it felt dirty and stinky because of the carpet.

The front desk staff was extremely kind. Very convenient location to everything, had parking included, room clean, basic needs met. The pool areas were closed for maintenance & we had no view but a building wall so that’s only reason not 5 star but absolutely would stay there again. Had room with loft so it was nice to have a separate living area to visit with friends other than in room with beds

I accidentally booked the wrong day. They would not rebook as the day was after the check in time. I would need a Time Machine as the booking was placed after check in. They stubbornly stuck to their no cancellation policy even though all I wanted to do was to change the booking to the actual date of my trip. I will definitely NOT be attending or recommending this property to anyone. By charging me full rate for a room I never even checked into instead of just adjusting the dates I am certain that the money they charged me will not begin to outweigh the amount of future lost business due to their bad attitude towards customers.

I booked 5 nights at this hotel. The first day checked in, my swiping card to access to room was not working. 3 days later, again, I had to ask to activate my access card again. I have to reactivate my card twice. Not happy because I had long days after long tours, and had to get back downstairs to wait for card reactivation

The rooms need to be fixed up a bit. It was clean but just outdated. We could hear everyone in the rooms near us. No gym or pool which would have been a nice addition. The staff were the highlight. Everyone was lovely.

The Kindness of Strangers
Our stay was wonderful. Squeaky clean room and bathroom, very comfortable bed, good amenities. The very best, however, was the service the concierge, Matthew, offered us. He personally helped to ameliorate the frustrating situation created when our bus service, Rider, abandoned us in a small mountain town with no transportation services during a snowstorm. Matthew so kindly reworked our reservation without taking advantage of our situation. When we did arrive in Banff, we had an easy check-in to a lovely and comfortable room.
