    lovely view
    comfortable stay
    denied upgrade
    limited options
    inconsistent accommodations

    A beautiful, large room with a lovely river view made for a comfortable stay. The location is ideal for accessing town and nearby trails, with elk often spotted along the river. However, a requested room upgrade was denied despite the hotel being nearly empty. Additionally, while the staff was accommodating, the dining options, especially for barbecues, could have been better.

    green program
    mountain view
    outdated decor

    clean and budget-friendly but older feel

    The hotel offers a great incentive for green behavior, which I appreciated during my stay. The location was ideal for hiking and exploring the area. I enjoyed the stunning mountain view from my room.

    The hotel felt a bit outdated in terms of decor.

    The final verdict on this

    My stay was delightful! The room was cozy with a stunning river view, perfect for morning coffee. Staff were friendly and helpful. The location was quiet yet just a short walk from downtown. While the building shows age, the cleanliness and comfort prevailed. Great value for what you get!

    great views
    small pool

    We loved our stay here! The room had a nice view of the river and was clean and comfortable, which made it great for our family with a little kid. The front desk staff were super helpful in planning our day hikes around Banff.

    In my kids’ opinion, the pool could have been bigger.

    The view of the Bow River from the room was lovely, and the staff was friendly and accommodating. However, the hotel showed its age with dated furniture and an uncomfortable mattress. Overall, it was a decent place to stay for an active vacation despite some cleanliness concerns.

    friendly staff

    Target audience seeking affordability

    Had a decent stay, the view from the balcony was unexpected—truly stunning with a river view right there. The staff were accommodating, they even provided extra towels without me asking!

    It was a bit pricey for what it offered, but honestly, I can overlook that considering some perks.

    I loved the convenient location with easy access to the Bow River walking trails, making it perfect for leisurely strolls. The hotel's friendly atmosphere and attentive staff made my stay even more enjoyable, providing a warm and welcoming experience.

    Narrow hallways can be difficult for mobility concerns.
