Average hotel we got using a blind booking on Travelocity. It is the second hotel on right after entering Banff from east side and actually you need to check in at sister property Banff Voyager. We got a corner room which was pretty big size, not too much view just a street. The hotel itself does not have any facility you need to go to sister property for complimentary breakfast and to use the hot tub and outdoor swimming pool. Hot tub is but is just 8-10 person so on busy day this might be a challenge. The outdoor swimming pool was heated but not enough to make you desire swim outside in winter

The hotel is located in a distance of approx. 1 kilometer from downtown Banff and is ideal for a short stay in the city. The garage parking is for free, the rooms are spacious and clean and the staff can be considered as very friendly. The only drawback is the breakfast!!! Horrible mouldy cereals, coffee brown color and consisting of water and crushed toasted bread!!! I would rather pay more and 10 € for a good start to the day.

To start we have stayed in many places in Banff and stayed here at the last minute.

The good stuff>>> the hotel looks nice and is newer. The employess are great here and at the voyager next door . Rooms are plain and sheets dont even cover matress and paper thing tiny blanket.

The bad >> do not go here for the pool , which is outside was dirty, half covered even when we were in it which is a danger and hot tub is inside in a hostital from the 1960 s type atmosphere. My little girl got a rash from the pool which in hind sight should not have used. The continental breakfast is laughable. Ordering from the menu was reasonable but keep in mind you will be eating in an old dingy restaurant with snow bums usining foul langauge. The srevice was great. You almost felt bad for employees . Most it seemed worked hard and were happy running a disgusting old hotel the Voyager. If you stay at Spruce grove inn just dont use anything at the Voyager and it will be passable. If you can afforn an extra few bucks a night choose anywhere else in Banff

I’ve been to Banff a few times so know the high standard of hotels in the area and the Spruce Grove didn’t disappoint. No bells and whistles but good value, clean and comfortable – plus it has a pool which most of the less expensive hotels don’t have. There are better locations as it is about 15 minutes walk into the centre but for the price I can’t quibble.
