The location on Banff Avenue was excellent. We could walk to stores, coffee shops and restaurants. The room was clean but the carpets could use replacing. The ceiling fan did not work but the front desk made a note.
If you want an experience, this is not the hotel for you. If you want a clean bed and central location at a lower price, I recommend this hotel.

Front desk staff didn’t seem to know how to get to their own parade neither did they know if you need the key fob to get out of their parkade(you don’t). Place was OK. Had a Queen bed that was significantly grooved for each person sleeping in it….its time to get new mattress. . It is very conveniently located on the main drag and it was very quiet, I did appreciate that. Online(Expedia) says there is no elevator but there is….

The room was clean and tidy and perfect for the price. No breakfast included, but all restaurants, coffee shop and shopping closeby. It was quiet except the room doors are very noisy when they fall shut and the hotel started cleaning up the rooms fairly early the next morning, so it was loud in the hallway. Maybe
