The Driftwood Inn is on Banff Avenue right in downtown Banff. Considering a dorm in a hostel is close to $40CAD we are staying in a room with two double beds with private bathroom with tub and shower for $99CAD. It seems the Ptarmigan group is taking over a range of hotels in the area, and the check in is... More

Value for money was fantastic (I was staying in off season). The rooms were a bit out dated but were still in good condition, pleasant enough and a very good size. Location was great and use of the spa pool next door was an added bonus. More

My friend and I stayed here for the second time in two years for the Rocky Mountain Wine and Food Festival. We have never had any problems. For how much you stay in your hotel while traveling it does the trick. More

The Driftwood is a basic value budget hotel. Very basic decor but for the price it is great. There are three hotels on the same property and the ameneties are located in the main hotel which is the Ptarmigan Inn.

On arrival we collect the key from the Ptarmigan... More

I found the location to be perfect right on Banff ave. The rooms were very clean and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. One of the girl's at the front desk named Sophie even brought us around Banff on her day off. Cheap prices and a great stay! More

This motel is a dump. It is owned and run by the Ptarmigan Inn next door and they really don't care about you if you're staying here, absolutely no service. Housekeeping was ok, but since none of the empoyees are in this building people get really loud, and also the building is so old that you can here everyone talking... More
