Busy location in the heart of Banff. The good: easy parking garage, perfect location, modern clean rooms, with very comfortable beds and pillows, great restaurant and very friendly staff. The not so good; the busy location means it can be a bit noisy so if you’re a light sleeper you might want to choose another property. They don’t do housekeeping (they say they do, but we never got housekeeping even though we repeatedly requested,) so you have to hunt down fresh towels, soap, bathroom supplies, toilet tissue etc… even after just a few days this became very annoying. It’s a cheap, cost cutting measure to the detriment of the guest and it sours the experience.

Thank you sharing how your time with us went on your recent stay. It's great to know first of all that you found the bed very comfortable and the staff very friendly. Regarding our location, it does come with being in a busy spot which can lead to noise from the street at times depending on where your room is. We are always happy to supply any needed items from the front desk as quickly as possible, but will look into how we are missing any other aspects of housekeeping requests. Warm Regards, Daren Front Office Manager Warm Regards, Daren Front Office Manager

The quad occupancy room was really comfy and spacious, and the location is perfect to explore the Main Street of Banff. Excellent, cheap onsite parking too. The excellent brunch in the Fire and Farm restaurant too-a great experience to end our holiday!

The hotel appears to have been renovated and the overall aesthetic is nice. In some places however the hotel appears dated and is not fully accessible. Thankfully, the fan in our room drowned out some of the noise as you can hear pretty much everything going on inside and outside the hotel from your room. Great location, and wonderful breakfast at the Farm and Fire restaurant located inside the hotel. If this hotel was half the price I would give it a better rating, but at nearly $400 per night I had higher expectations.

Thank you for your feedback and highlighting the positives of your experience and where you think there are opportunities for improvement. It's nice to know you appreciated the overall aesthetic and a wonderful breakfast at Farm & Fire. The market in Banff in summer dictates very high prices but come October and November, excellent deals can be had. Warm Regards, Daren Front Office Manager

The hotel has put in some energy into renovations but there’s definitely more that can be done as some things still feel dated and a bit dingy. You can’t beat the location and they do provide earplugs because the air conditioners are noisy, the street is noisy, so if you want a good night sleep any room ground level or facing the street is probably not going to allow for that without aids. If you check in when a tour group is checking in, it’s a bit chaotic and you’re better off trying again later.

Thank you for sharing the experience of your travel. We appreciate knowing what you think we could improve on.

Location is great, driving to the location is not. Parking is underground but you have to pay and if you have a truck, forget about it. Room cleanliness was sub-par. We didn't get the room I booked, we got a loft which sounds nice but not with a young child and to haul suitcases up to the rooms. The banister was filthy, i didnt want to touch it. Not worth the price

Thank you for choosing to stay with us. Parking for larger trucks at our property is very challenging and we try to make this as clear as possible during the booking process, sending out an email to guests informing them of the 6 foot 1 height limit for the underground garage. I am sorry to hear that the cleanliness wasn't up to par and we will look at how we can ensure nothing is getting missed. Warm Regards, Daren Front Office Manager

Great location on Banff Avenue. Close to all the shops and restaurants and walkavle to Tunnel Mountain. Parking underground very easy. Excellent Good Earth coffee shop (separate review) within hotel as is the Pursuits attractions shop. Basically Pursuits own half of Banff and Jasper and a great place to book attractions visits. Only slight downside is some of the reception staff dont understand English, or at least English Midlands English. We had a minor issue with our bathroom which was dealt with only at 2nd time of asking. Room was comfortable rather than luxurious, but who needs luxury when you have Banff outside the front door?

Great location. Walk to almost all parts of Banff. Nice comfortable room. Unfortunately the lift was not working and we had to use the stairs albeit 3 flights. Our baggage was delivered to the room and when checking out delivered to the lobby. Recommend this hotel for a stay in Banff

A comfy spot to stay but beware the loft stairs! I slipped on them going downstairs to the bathroom during the night and bruised (if not fractured) ribs. Made the next 2 weeks in Canada challenging! Staff were friendly and hotel is close to shops and dining spots.

Thank you for letting us know about your experience. I am very happy you found the hotel comfortable but concerned that you hurt yourself. We shall look into how we can improve the lighting around the loft stairs to assist with nightly descents in the dark. Warm Regards, Daren Front Office Manager

Excellent location directly in the center of town within a block of restaurants and pedestrian areas. The loft room was perfect for three or more guests. The restaurant and nightly music were highly rated and provided great ambiance upon entry.
