Good location! Lots of parking. Rooms are spacious and clean. The front desk lady wasn’t very nice- I asked for ice and she fully dropped the tongs in front of me said “oops” then picked them up and put them IN the ice bin… but the hotel itself is wonderful we love staying here when in Canmore.

The room was very secure and cozy. Perfect for a quick trip to the mountains. The hot tub was amazing with a great view of the mountains. The receptionist was a little rude and not entirely friendly but worked well. Parking is nice if you’re on the first floor you can park right outside your room. Plus it’s pet friendly

The room was really nice and all of the staff we talked to were super helpful and kind! Specifically Michelle at the office was very sweet and super helpful getting us checked in. I'd definitely recommend for anyone looking to spend a night in Canmore, it's also right downtown so everything is very close!

Overall great stay for price. Location right off Main Street with shopping and restaurants. Hot tub was closed and out of service which was a bit of a bummer. Helpful contact centre. Would stay again.

The room was clean and nice, the check in and out process was easy, and the people there were great. It loses one star because the hot tub wasn't working during our 5 night stay.

I loved the retro decor and the room was perfectly prepared. The hot tub was not working which was a disappointment for a cold winter arrival. Still found the location excellent.
