The location is great, the room was very nice, we had breakfast twice in the restaurant and that was nice. I think we must have visited at peak time because the crowds were huge and sometimes the staff was stretched thin. I’d recommend staying here, it’s central to Banff so getting around is easy.

The room was nice as was the bathroom. We were right off the lobby near the elevator which is normally something that would drive me crazy but it was not an issue. The hotel was nice and left earplugs in our room just in case, but I had my Sleep Pillow app running on white noice, so we heard nothing. I want to put in a plug for the restocking, Farm to Table. Excellent. Had breakfast and dinner there and I highly recommend. The location of the hotel is very convenient and parking in their garage was easy.
