Decided to stay here for our Valentine's weekend away. For about $430.00 we got a two night stay in the Rundle Loft Suite, which had the bed downstairs and the jacuzzi upstairs. I was originally told that it had a full kitchen, so that was kind of a surprise when I walked in and there was nothing.
The (-) - I prefer more modern accommodations, but the rustic look was nice. The biggest issue was that the layout of the room was just bad. We stayed in room 320, and in that room, the TV downstairs was behind a wall, so you couldn't see it from the bed. But if you pulled it out so you could see it, it had to sit awkwardly in front of the fireplace. So no fire. A flatscreen on top of the fireplace would fix this instantly. The tub was wider than other jacuzzis we've had, but it wasn't deep at all (meaning half your body sticks out and it's awkward). The bathroom light took a little while to flicker on, the shower/tub didn't drain well (so you're standing in a lot of cold water while you shower), and it's hard work to get the sink to turn on. The furnace made an odd alarm-sounding noise when it came on, and you lost Wifi service when you went up in the loft.
The (+) - Heated underground parking, nice and very friendly staff, and it's quiet, clean, and out of the way.
It was a nice hotel, but I think it's a bit over priced (as is everything in Banff, but still). It's not too bad, but I don't think I'd stay here again. Too much money, and no "wow" factor.
