2/10 Poor

Worst hotel stay ever
Upon check in my room was 26 degrees. I called the front desk immediately, told them the temperature and was told to open a window for 5-10 minutes. I ended up leaving my window open for a day and a half and was able to get it to 22 degrees.

Mathieu's the best
Mathieu checked us in for our 8 night stay and he was fantastic. Knowledgeable, professional, courteous. You can tell he's just a great guy. One afternoon, he even greeted me with "Aloha" remembering that I was visiting from Hawaii. He just goes beyond the call and I wanted to recognize him for that. He was much appreciated.

NYE 2024
New Years Eve in Banff is magical, but the hotel needs to make sure that the residents are taken care of e.g The Hot Tub was not warm, The heating in the room could not be adjusted, and the room looked a little unkempt.

Overall good, but could use some refining
It was a nice room with good amenities, but the conditioner in the shower was empty. The beds were not comfortable. There were a lot of sounds from pipes in the roof that went on for 5 hours for 2 nights of our 5-night stay, which disturbed our sleep. The Wi-Fi was good, and the sofa bed was a nice touch. Thankfully, the jacuzzi and sauna were open. The jacuzzi was a bit lukewarm, and one day, several young men and women were fraternizing and drinking in it, which isn't the biggest issue, but I often saw kids come in, so it was inappropriate for a public bath.

Perfect
Excellent hotel in a perfect location. But what really stood out was the manager’s attention to detail. We bought some groceries and he noticed we had yogurt and without us asking, he promptly asked if we needed spoons. This level of attention to guests’ needs even before they ask is among the best I’ve ever encountered.

Loved this property, great friendly service. Had amazing restaurant, great coffee and cocoa bar. So many Christmas decorations it was truly beautiful! Microwaves are not in the room but one is available in one of the lobbies so no problem to use. They even had snowshoes or ice cramps for us to use for free which in winter months you definitely need for jackson canyon. Wondeful l9cation and parking available for $5/day. So we could walk around town for shopping and dining. We will definitely stay again.

We were disappointed to learn on check in that the hot tub was closed due to renovation. An offer of the use of the Hot Springs was given and we took the voucher. Hot springs were a 10 minute drive away. On arrival we were surprised to see it was closed (early due to a staff function). We headed down the very icy road back to the hotel. The television in our room wasn’t working. Someone came to look at it fairly quickly but was unable to get it working. We were moved to another room. Whilst we had some inconveniences the manager rectified the situation swiftly.
