We stayed at this B&B in Canmore, Alberta and were disappointed with it. The room was really pretty with an adjoining communal balcony and TV room. We stayed 4 nights and the hosts, Yuki and Peter Shimizu never once cleaned the bathroom or room or emptied the garbage. We ended up taking out our own garbage! On 2 occasions the supposed hot breakfast consisted of cold fried eggs, etc. They put the breakfast out before the guests hit the table so by the time we got there ( and we were there at the time we requested) some of the food was cold. Cold fried egg is gross!! Also, the host Peter seemed suspicious of us and watched over our shoulders as we filled out the guest registration form. They say they have been operating the b&b for 7 years. They live on the other side of the house and if you want to contact them you have to ring a bell on a table. One morning we had to contact Peter twice and he would answer "yes?' in a whiny voice, like he was fed up with us. They also have a jewellery cabinet above the dining table so we figure they want to get further money from the guests by hoping they will buy a piece of jewellery. There are no prices on the jewellery as we could see from the cabinet so I guess they are hoping for a good offer. Also the room and house was cool at night. They set the temperature at 18 degrees celsius. It is central heating that they control.There are also lots of signs all over the place telling guest what to do and what not to do. Sounds like they had a lot of trouble with other guests.
We would not stay here again unless we could not find other accomodation. We sure didn't enjoy getting served a cold breakfast by a grumpy host. Yuki was a bit more pleasant. We considered getting our own breakfast at one point but decided it was a bit more convenioent to have the breakfast there.
