“Very impressed for how little we paid!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

My boyfriend and I stayed here for one night on the weekend in January 2012. For the cheap price of the room, we was very impressed! The king size bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom was a decent size. There is free underground parking offered, but unfortunately we drive a truck and would not fit. The staff were very accommodating and let us park right out front in the driveway of the hotel. The location of the hotel is perfect, a short walk from everything downtown. We would definitely stay here again. Ricky's (restaurant) is located in the hotel, and you can't go wrong with a cheap meal here. Definitely not fine dining, but good for breakfast or lunch for sure. Not sure about the pool or gym facilities as we did not visit these.

Room Tip: I believe we were in room 604. Not much of a view but didn't bother us.

“Beauty Banff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 December 2011

Have stayed in Banff for a total of six nights over four years. This hotel is very well located and is an easy walk to everything downtown. Our room was about twice the size of the Banff Springs hotel room we'd had on a previous trip. We recieved a great welcome and found the pool facilities quiet and clean. The laundry facilities down in the carpark were a bit crude. they could be walled off and include a sitting area with a television maybe. Restaurant fare was limited and a bit pricey but who would miss the Banff Spaghetti Factory restaurant anyway? .. a feed with fun!

Room Tip: Make sure you ask for a room with a mountain view, they are larger and the view superb.

Thank you for writing a review of our property.

First of all, I am glad that you enjoyed your most recent trip to Banff. It truly is a breathtaking destination that inspires multiple visits. Secondly, I am happy that you received the warm hospitality that we strive to offer every guest. As for your comments about our coin laundry facilities: they have struck a chord with me and I appreciate the feedback that a fresh guest perspective brings. I will see what can be done to make the area more inviting rather than functional.

Thank you so much for staying with us.

“Very Nice Hotel!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 December 2011

My family had a great stay at this property. I would certainly recommend if you are visiting Banff. The location is the BEST by far...very easy and quick to get into the heart of Banff Ave. The hotel is very clean and rooms are a good size. Hotel also offers complimentary underground parking which is very convenient. The staff were very friendly throughout the hotel.

“Great location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 November 2011

We stayed here one night as an upgrade of our Rocky tour.

There are several beautiful hotels in the area, mostly are expensive.You get what you paid for.Our room was not great but more than reasonable for the price we paid for.

It is centrally located in the main street of Banff . Our room was fine, clean and spacious.The staff were friendly and helpful.

Overall we were happy with our stay here.

“Top rates, mediocure facility”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2011

Only good thing was location, rooms have no a/c, updated executive suite had window to no where, bed coverings were stained, had to have them changed.
Staff did respond quickly , underground parking was Ok.
Overpriced for what you get.

Room Tip: Pick different facility
