Very clean room and excellent staff. Sadly the hot tub is not that hot, and the jets didn’t work. The sauna was very nice and the steam room was pretty good. Still good value for a really nice and spacious room with covered parking.

Excellent location! Steps to downtown Banff, grocery store, shops, restaurants and ski resort bus pickup is out the front door. For an old hotel, they have done a great job updating the rooms - price is reasonable. Only thing missing is a good restaurant (current one sits below the lobby and is like a cave.
