We had two rooms - Room 109 had 2 queen beds (although in an odd C shape, only one bed had a view of the TV) and Room 112 had 1 queen bed, a dog bed, chew toy and dog biscuits (we didn't bring a dog with us so this was a surprise). Both rooms over looked the carpark, the... More

Thank you so much for taking the time to write your review. We are disappointed to hear that you did not enjoy your stay with us, as we strive to have all of our guests return home happy. The C shaped room that you stayed in, is called a split room, and we usually find most families enjoy this type... More

Girls weekend to Banff, we booked 2 rooms for the 4 of us. The hotel is 1 block from shops, restaurants and bars and offers great value for your stay. We each had a room with 2 queen beds and small sitting area with table and chairs. The sink is outside the shower/bath/toilet area which is handy when you have... More

The rooms were very clean, the staff was awesome and the food in the restaurant is delicious. About a block and a half to the main shopping area which is very convenient. Never did go to the hot tub (forgot our bathing suits) but heard from other guests it is nice. They do offer bathing suit rentals but we had... More

Welcome home, and thank you for taking the time to share your travel experiences with others. Great tip about the local bus, we call it the ROAM bus, we offer this to all of our guests complimentary, and it is great to get to some of the attractions outside of the downtown corridor, such as the Upper Hot Springs or...

What made this a wonderful experience were a combination of the people and the best food I have enjoyed in a long time. When we upgraded our room to a premium I was most excited to see the beautiful bathroom & fireplace, however, only one bed, which we were not advised and needed two. Unfortunately, the Premium rooms only have... More

Ashleigh and Deb – well you have successfully made me, and I am sure many others, hungry. Thank you for sharing your experience, and also for sharing the tip about the Premium room, we will make sure that we warn guests about the one bed prior to upgrading them in the future. I will pass on the nice remarks to... More

We had a room with a balcany facing the front courtyard, The noice echoed into our room. The bed was nice, but the hotel was old and not updated. The only highlight of the free breakfest was the omlettes. Very small selection. I never thought you can cut bread so thin for the toast. Staff was nice, Spa room was... More
