Nice hotel at the end of Banff Avenue . They give you a pass for roam transit to cover your stay which makes travel to the centre&other attractions easy if you don’t want to walk / drive . The centre and restaurants and very walkable. Would definitely recommend .

8/10 Very good

Great hotel, excellent staff. Convenient location opposite the bus stop; about 15min walk to downtown if you don't take the bus. Hot pool was excellent after a day of hiking. Breakfast was delicious. Overall an excellent stay with spacious and clean rooms, excellent tea and coffee, small signs of wear and tear in the bathroom. The only thing that could be better is sound-proofing in the rooms, could hear everything in the hallway, especially when hikers start really early.

This hotel offers a lot of cool amenities, and the location is good if you don’t wanna be smack in the middle of town. I did think the price was a little high and the staff was not overly attentive.
