A quiet spot off the beaten path but still in town. Nicely updated, the courtyard bike station and storage was a plus. I think we'll be back.

Super great location right on Banff ave. Walk friendly to off the shops and restaurants and like a 15 min drive to the Banff Gondola which is a must visit. Staff was so nice made our bed everyday of our stay changed towels and always warm. The free coffee and tea is the best they even let us take a couple home. Sweetest receptionist and it’s 24/7 available for anything we need. Will definitely stay here again.

I like that heating system was independent and after hot pools I came back in hot and comfortable room, reception was super friendly and helpful in all my issues. Parking right near the window and forest around the hotel makes my stay comfortable and relaxed together. I definitely come back to this place. Thank you so much!

Check in was across the street which I didn't realize until after I booked. We arrived late at night so it was a bit of a hassle just because we were tired, otherwise it would have been fine. You get to use the amenities at the check in hotel, which is nice. The room itself was really clean and very cute. Most staff was very nice, just had one interaction with one staff member that was a little rude.

Amazing access to hot pools at the canoe, accross bNff ave from coop fuel and a and w. Lots of parking. Saved hundreds. Bring your own robe or rent one for extra. Highly-rated Sam is the man. Katie from Ireland's advice was right, the pools and restaurant are amazing
