Easy/short walk to the ski buses. Really nice, modern decor. Loved the high ceilings and the free shampoo from Rocky Mountain. Did not like the fan! But other than that it was perfect.

Loved this hotel. Love that I could check in and have my hotel key through the app. Made everything so much easier. Only issue we had with the place majorly was the plumbing in the place wasn’t great. Flushing the toilet it took like 2 hours for the bowl to fill up and the sink took forever to drain. The toilet and flushing was our biggest problem especially sharing a room with people constantly going in and out of bathroom. Everything else was good and loved how walking wise it was about 15 min walk to main part of Banff. And there’s a good breakfast spot across the street. Probably will stay here again.

The room is spacious, new, nice and clean. The location is great. The check in is not in the hotel and the air conditioning is very loud. Otherwise, it is a good place to stay

Our favourite place by FAR while travelling across Canada… Felt like they should charge 4x what we paid. Located on the main street so it’s a cozy short walk to shops and restaurants. Beds were super comfortable. Bathroom was immaculate with locally made lemon grass soap. Room was great and felt safe being able to park car just a few feet away from room. Had a view into the woods and courtyard was a bonus!
