The only good thing about this hotel is the location. A five minute walk to downtown. Rooms deperately need updating. Pink ripped wallpaper, badly stained carpets, no A/C. Told we were staying in the premier room, I called down to say we mustve been given the wrong room...Nope! More

Someone told me this is the only hotel that closest to the shopping area. Tho there is nothing to shop. The hotel has a plenty space for our big luggage, big bed and comfortable. Breakfast was soso. Overall experience, yes, it was good and affordable. More

This hotel is on the main strip of Banff. The surrounding area is awesome and this makes for an easy jumping off point. It's not fancy but the rooms are comfortable, with HD TV's. The hotel restaurant is pretty much a diner, but was great for breakfast. If you are looking for a memorable weekend, this might not be the... More

This Hotel is right in the middle of it all at Banff and Elk and walking distance to all the sights and shopping - Safeway grocery/pharmacy, all the downtown shops, souvenir stores and the eateries, the Bow River Bridge, Museum and the historic Gardens across the Bridge. We were in one of the Loft rooms, with 2 double beds upstairs... More

The room we stayed in was... More

The hotel itself was clean, the room we had was a nice size although a little dark. The elk sat in the hotel... More

We were on a Cross Canada tour and this was almost our last leg of the trip. The ambiance of the hotel is like a mountain inn. Upon arriving in our room, we found a queen bed by the windows on the first level. The living area was spacious with a sofa, TV/armoire, coffee maker/fridge. The closet and the bathroom... More

The money this hotel spent on its website should have been spent on bringing the hotel into the 21st century. While the lobby is lovely (although with a fake fire in the fireplace), our room appeared to be straight out of the 1980s with a mauve and teal decor and furniture that looked like it had seen better days.
