Our experience at the North winds was average. We stayed there for 4 nights. Carry your own water and pair of slippers if you need them. Sometimes extra towels will not be available, depends on the number of new people that day so make sure you carry extra that too. internet wifi is also not very stable, remains valid for approximately 8 hours. When we came back at night our device IPs were kicked off, had to wait until next day where we got in , probably someone else was kicked off. We weren't spending a lot of time in the hotel, hence didn't matter to us a lot, but if someone is planning to work from hotel, they should have access to backup internet too.

Lodge like hotel, very comfortable, cozy and clean. Washroom clean and modern, Rocky mountain soap pump at sink, makeup wipes at sink. Sheets crisp white clean linen. Pillows abundant and comfy. Has an electric fireplace built in for cool nights or fall and winter. Coffee/fridge bar off to side. Closet very small but lots of drawers if needed. Our view was nothing special, try to get second floor back, this has a mountain view. Check in easy and receptionist polite, rustic and simple yet again very clean with lots of maps and tourist info avail. Free parking and area fairly quite and safe and close to restaurants, in all a fantastic experience close to banff and all the sights😎

Hi 49vincyc! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! We’re delighted to hear that our hotel felt comfortable, cozy, and clean during your stay. It’s great to know that the modern washroom amenities, such as the Rocky Mountain soap and makeup wipes, added to your convenience. We’re pleased that the crisp white linens and comfy pillows contributed to a restful stay, and that the electric fireplace provided extra warmth during cool nights. We’re glad you found the coffee maker and the fridge useful and appreciate your feedback on the closet space. It’s wonderful to hear that check-in was smooth and our staff was polite. We're happy you enjoyed the rustic charm and the cleanliness of the hotel, along with the available maps and tourist information. It’s also great to know that the location worked well for exploring Canmore and Banff and nearby restaurants. Thanks again for your kind words and for choosing to stay with us. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future! 😊

It was a nice, cozy place to stay at. There was hardly any noise. The place was maintained well. We were there to sleep and relax. We were able to see the beautiful mountains from our room. You can walk on the balcony as well. They don't have a water fountain, so buy a pack of water if you need to! I don't recall seeing an elevator so keep that in mind. Our water pressure was perfectly fine and easy to change temperature.

This is a good location but the staff seem constantly unhappy to be troubled by your presence. Wide corridors with the thinnest of carpeting and people going past your room all the time make this a noisy place to stay. There's also noise from adjacent rooms, I could actually make out full conversations from the next room. Spartan rooms that are poorly maintained, have dangling TV wires and noisy air conditioning. Trains rumble past in the evening and throughout the night sounding their horn. Windows were filthy and obviously hadn't been cleaned for a long time. The sink basin was broken and would seal closed but not open again so I had to get maintenance to that. The shower was good but only had one setting which was so powerful it exfoliated your skull as you washed. Toilet paper was the cheapest nastiest stuff that could be bought. The room itself was large but bizarrely the bed had been squeezed into the corner, leaving just 2ft to get out at one side. This hotel very poorly designed. Minimal soft furnishings make this a loud place to stay. No cold running water in the wash basin so you'll have to clean your teeth with water from the bathtub. Rooms are NOT made up nor will you be given clean towels unless you book it in with the front desk. This is NOT something that I was told when checking-in and to me that is penny pinching customer service. It's an expensive place to book, there's poor service and all in all it's a very average hotel where you may struggle to get a good nights sleep and won't get a single smile from any of the staff. All this said, as I left there were hazardous tubes, pipes and cables cluttering the reception with no safety signage and no way around them, I was curtly told that this was due to the air conditioning being serviced. This is NOT the place to stay whilst in Alberta.

Positive point -The hotel is located near the highway and close to the downtown area.

The lady at the front counter was rude and unaccommodating.
The carpet was dirty and the chair cushion cover was stained. The bathroom towels were old, thin and also stained.
While the room was designated as a pet friendly room, one would expect that the room would still have some type pf cleanliness standards.
Very disappointed.

Don't waste your time at this hotel, there are tons of other places to stay in Canmore! Very disappointed with the suite we were put in as its right under the front doors and every time the doors would open the room would shake. Did ask if we could be moved and staff was very rude. Upon checking in at 4pm they were still cleaning and vacuuming in the hallways and had to jump over all the cleaning supplies to get to our room. Seemed we were more of a bother to them! Breakfast food was stale and low budget vs other hotels that are in the same price range!

This was our second stay at this hotel. In the winter, this hotel really shines when it's cold outside, and the fireplace and jacuzzi are welcome amenities. Not the newest hotel, but clean enough, everything worked, nothing broken, damaged or worn. We find the beds here very comfortable, and we find this hotel very quiet, even when it's full. It's unfortunate that Days Inns seem to have discontinued providing a breakfast of any kind during COVID, when other similar chains, i.e. Travelodge, DO serve a hardy bag breakfast, and yet other chains still provide an included hot breakfast. Also, as a two-night stay, we noticed housekeeping did not enter the room between the nights, again, other chains, such as Travelodge DO a touch-up in the room between nights on longer stays. Fortunately, ice was available, and cups and glasses, etc were stocked in the room. Staff were reasonably friendly.

My fiancé and I checked in here last night for a one night stay. My sister and her husband also had a room. From booking a month ago to checkout today, our experience was easy and efficient. We didn’t check in until after 8 pm and the gentleman at the front desk was amazing. He was super friendly and efficient.
We found the room to be very clean, not a dust bunny in sight! The carpet was clean looking as was the bathroom floor. The beds were very comfortable and had sparkling white linens that were super cozy. We had 6 pillows for two queen beds and they were great. The room decor was quite nice with lots of storage and everything in good shape. The bathroom had a jacuzzi tub that we did not use. The shower pressure and temperature was perfect for us. We had more towels than necessary and they were clean and soft. The coffee station was well stocked and organized. Due to covid restrictions we decided to order in Pizza for dinner and the front desk recommended a great place and told us to come by if we needed plates, napkins and utensils.
We travel a few times a year, staying in similar hotels/motels and Days Inn Canmore really delivered a great experience for us.
We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

Does the room with a queen bed and bunkbeds have a fireplace?
Answer from Ben B

We're just travellers. We've stayed here a few times, and had a fireplace a couple of times. Our experience has been that sometimes they have pictures of rooms with fireplaces, but not all have one. Unless the word fireplace is mentioned in the Wyndham website room description, it probably doesn't. The hotel is a decent value, but on the last couple of times we stayed, we thought the room could have been cleaner.
