Two nights
I asked for a quiet room and they delivered. You certainly hear noise outside, but nothing from the walls. We stayed in the same room before, so I was surprised to see they no longer have complimentary tea and coffee on the rooms. They still have a kettle, cups and a French press. I would have asked if we could get something from the main office at the Canoe, but the lineup at their counter wasn't worth the wait. Aside from that change, everything was as good as our last visit. Oh one other change worth mentioning, is they now have compost bins. That's the first time I've seen a hotel have them.

Quick stay in Banff
Stayed for one night while skiing in banff. Have stayed before at sister hotel, Banff Canoe and Suites and enjoyed it - so figured why not?! No frills motel that was clean, modern, and quiet for a Saturday night. Check in was at sister hotel (not convenient but for price point I wasn’t fussed). Check-in was pleasant and smooth. Parking was ample. Modern amenities such as underbed lighting, comfy beds, soft towels and small fridge in room. Flooring was odd (like a camouflage tile 😬) but it’s a floor and it was clean.

Great stay.
Everything about the stay was wonderful! Our room was clean, quiet, comfortable and newly renovated. The only downside was the clearance height required to enter the parking lot, considering the truck we brought was significantly higher than a normal car.

Exceptional Stay at Dorothy Motel
I had an exceptional experienced at the Dorothy Motel! The room was spotless, the bed was incredibly comfortable, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure my stay was perfect. The location was peaceful yet close to everything I needed. I loved the cozy outdoor area, and the hot pool—such a nice touch! I’ll definitely stay here again. Highly recommended! 👌

This is a great property, a small Motel without any reception or lobby, so you have to check in at the Caribou hotel nearby. You get the perks provided by the hotel, such as pool, hot tub access. The rooms are clean, nicely decorated, and it’s comfortable. It’s on the north end of town which is a bit of a trek to downtown, but still walkable. The hotel does provide free bus tickets for the duration of your stay. Nice Motel overall.

The staff at the front desk of the Caribou were very accommodating and helpful when we called for assistance. We had a very enjoyable stay and really liked the Dorothy Motel venue, the amply free parking around there and the convenient and delicious dining places nearby.
