Great location, small room, but it did the job.

The location is phenomenal for this hotel. The hotel unfortunately does not live up to this. Considered a historic site we were excited to see some of Banff’s history, but it is poorly maintained with seemingly little care to appearance or actually showing any history at all of Banff. The bedding was of poor quality and ill fitting to the bed. Of note we were aware that the hotel had no air conditioning prior to booking, but even with room temperature set to its lowest setting the room became incredibly warm through the night even on a -10c night. The front staff were helpful and welcoming.

The only great thing about this hotel was the location. The price we paid was not worth it. Parking is completely separate. There needs to be a sign at the parking garage to make it less confusing. Or some sort of directions on how to get there. The front desk staff is not friendly. There was no smoke detector in our room but the cords were hanging down from the ceiling for one. It’s really just a place to sleep and that’s it. I feel like they can do so much better.

Room was basic and clean but dated. Terrific to be central but found it noisy from rowdy crowds outside. Staff were responsive to requests for towels but rooms not routinely cleaned each day. Free parking a perk!

Stay here only if all other hotels are booked. Rooms terribly small, very hot with no air conditioning and staff hit and miss at the counter. Waited for 20 minutes to check in because no one was at counter. It appeared they only had one person to check people in and clean the rooms??? Only plus, good location downtown. Way too much money for the place.

Parking was a bit of a pain, we had to walk into it through bear st, as we couldn’t access it through the other door-we could get out that way but not in. Otherwise decent spot, great location.

Staff was very kind. But gave my room away. No AC! The room was 85°F. Opened the window to a loud alley. Felt like a cheap hostel in Europe.

Positives- helpful and kind staff. They got us a cot and explained the confusing parking directions. Clean room (though carpets worn). Location is great- right in the town. Free parking. Negatives- parking directions are confusing and weren’t given ahead. So we had to move the car, which isn’t easy at 6pm. Biggest complaint is that there was no AC and the room was exceptionally hot when we entered. Probably high 80s or 90. When we entered, the drapes were open and the sun was beating in. Recommend keeping them closed. There are no screens , so we left the windows open and risked bugs.
