Well situated and comfy

We stayed because it was pet friendly. We were greeted with a gift bag for our dog which was a lovely touch. Room was a nice size and comfortable. Lobby is nice and spacious and reception staff wonderful. Parking is a bit tight if arriving later. Nespresso in room was great to have.

Amazing service

The staff at the front desk was absolutely incredible. I stayed there for 4 nights on business with a group of co-workers. When I arrived, I noticed some kind of error was made in my personnal booking (probably on my end) and I ended up with a 2-story suite way too big and for my needs and budget. The hotel was solidly booked, no changes were possible. The staff took the time to explain the situation to the manager and they ended up reducing the price by a lot. They absolutely weren't obligated to do that, I was stuck and needed the room. I was amazed by the humanity and helpfullness shown by the 2 young girls at the front desk.

Perfect Location to Banff Shops and Restaurants

Perfect Location in Banff as it is near the shops and restaurants so you can step out the door and enjoy Banff even if the weather is cold. Underground parking so your vehicle is safe and warm. The rooms are spacious but the bed seemed worn. The decor was nice and the staff was very friendly and helpful.
