Check in was fast and friendly. We were given a room on the 3rd floor (street facing - not ideal but we could see the mountains) and the room was extremely spacious and I loved the high ceilings! We had a two queen room and there was a large seating area and a balcony. The room was very clean and the bathroom was also a good size. You could tell that the hotel had been refurbished fairly recently. Decor was updated, and they had a nice selection of personal care products. I would only deduct a half star on the shower. I'm 5'6 and my head was so close to the showerhead! My 19 year old was nearly touching the top of the shower head and it wasn't possible to adjust it much higher. I can't imagine an average man of 5'10 or higher being able to shower in there. There is a tub though so technically I guess you could take a bath, but definitely something to keep in mind.
Location was great and we appreciated the free underground parking since it snowed overnight. I was thankful I didn't have to clean off my car in the morning!
It was a little less than a ten minute walk into downtown Banff. It was nice not having to look for parking and we could just leave our car at the hotel and walk to the shops in Banff.
We didn't use the pool but it was open by reservation. The breakfast in the morning included a breakfast bag (juice box, an orange, a muffin [and a good one at that], a yogurt and a trail bar). There was also an attendant serving hot scrambled eggs and sausages to those who wanted. Compared to the breakfast bag I got at the Hampton in Calgary it was 100x better.
Overall, I was very pleased with my stay. I would definitely recommend asking for a room on the top floor. The high ceilings made the already large room feel even more spacious. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again when I'm in the area.
My biggest complaint during our recent stay over spring break was the OTHER GUESTS. We were on a floor full of families of little kids who were wide awake before 7 am... we could hear them going in and out of their doors (slams each time), talking loudly in hallways, etc. Of course we understand kids don’t know any better, so shame on the parents for not telling their kids to be respectful that not everyone wants to be woken up at 7 am on VACATION.
The water in the pool and hot tub didn’t feel super clean, but it was used all day (cohorts in their own individual time slots). The housekeepers do a great job, but we think they should wear masks while cleaning rooms that will soon be occupied. Regardless, we always look forward to our return to Banff and this Best Western Plus!
We check in this hotel for one night with family and the experience was beyond expectation. The room was clean (no dust on countertop) and guest supplies were well stocked, sufficient for the number of people checked in without having to run to the front desk for extra towels, shampoo etc. We had a good size room that fitted all our luggage/backpacks; spacious workspace that fitted my 17' laptop with extra space.
The breakfast room was crowded due to its size; the hotel was also at a full capacity on the day we checked in. However, they had no issue of us bringing the food to the room (We cleaned up after ourselves). The arrangement of the counter allows people goes in one file, one direction. I like this arrangement. Standard selection of breakfast items served: bread, muffin (not prepackaging type), hot breakfast such as waffle, sausages, scramble eggs and hashbrown. There are also varieties of cereals and fresh fruits. Condiments are well stocked at all time.
Check out was a breeze. We make use of the express check out and they are handled within half an hour after we left the premises. I know because I received notification and my account had been adjusted accordingly.
I will definitely come back for my next stay!
Rooms are very clean and stylishly appointed. It looks more upscale than what you'd expect from a Best Western. Many of the rooms have balconies as ours did, and that was a great place to sit outside and enjoy the views. The bathroom was nice with a spacious shower. Beds were a bit stiff for my taste and bedding could be better, but this seems to be a Best Western thing as other BWs I've stayed at lately have the same beds.
There is a convenient underground parking garage with complimentary parking which is a great perk. There is a nice complimentary breakfast available although the breakfast room is pretty hot and cramped... it may be best to take the breakfast to your room and eat there, or go out on the patio.
There is a small but nice pool and hot tub with great views. It might not be a dream pool for kids but I'm sure adults would enjoy the hot tub after a long day of hiking or skiing.
The location is great as the heart of town is within easy walking distance just a few blocks away. Service is courteous and professional. I'd happily come back to this hotel.
The location is great. Right on the main street in the town of Banff. Gorgeous view of the mountains from where we were, a spacious balcony with a table and two chairs and since we were on the top floor, our room had a vaulted ceiling which made the room feeling much larger than a standard hotel room.
The decor of the room was modern and bright. The beds were comfy, the tv was modern and had a sanitized remote provided. Our room had two queen beds, a table with two chairs, microwave, fridge, desk and wardrobe. The bathroom wasn't huge or fancy, but was very clean, all in working order and had a bathtub/shower combo.
The breakfast was above and beyond our expectations for a free breakfast. It included lots of hot food options (scrambled eggs, bacon, pancakes and delicious hashbrowns), self-serve toast, yogurt, fruit, cold cereal and hot cereal. It also offered several kinds of juices, as well as milk, coffee and teas. It was tasty, filling and a great way to start a day in the mountains!
My daughter loved the pool and hot tub area, which had long operating hours and lots of space.
All the staff we encountered were all very friendly and helpful.
Overall, we had a great stay here. We plan on trying to book it again for our next weekend escape. It exceeded all of our expectations, while not being unreasonably priced.
