Great overall stay. The only major disappointment was that the hottub was under construction - I could not find any notification that was sent before our stay saying it was not available. Not great. Otherwise, great staff and good property.

Liked: Amenities
The location, staff, ambiance and common areas were lovely! The only drawback was the temperature of the room fluctuated so much, we had a difficult time controlling it. The older radiant heater around the baseboards, and the A/C on the wall unit on the opposite side of the wall made it was constantly fighting each other. However, the view made up for the discomfort.

Have stayed here several times in Banff and the rooms are always clean and the staff helpful. 4 stars today due to noisy guests slamming doors and yelling in the corridors. Better soundproofing would help.

Perfect
Excellent hotel in a perfect location. But what really stood out was the manager’s attention to detail. We bought some groceries and he noticed we had yogurt and without us asking, he promptly asked if we needed spoons. This level of attention to guests’ needs even before they ask is among the best I’ve ever encountered.

Loved this property, great friendly service. Had amazing restaurant, great coffee and cocoa bar. So many Christmas decorations it was truly beautiful! Microwaves are not in the room but one is available in one of the lobbies so no problem to use. They even had snowshoes or ice cramps for us to use for free which in winter months you definitely need for jackson canyon. Wondeful l9cation and parking available for $5/day. So we could walk around town for shopping and dining. We will definitely stay again.

Property is dated and needs an upgrade. Rooms are basic, hotel washrooms were not working and bar closed at 9 and none of draught beer taps were working. Disappointing stay.
