Good mountain view
We had a mountain view room and it was nice. The balcony was a corner one and blocked some view but over all nice. Room was clean and cozy. Was good walking distance to shopping and restaurants.

The hotel was super convenient to the area. We were close to all amenities. The staff were all friendly and kind. We have stayed here before. The room we had seemed to be updated, but some items were run down. The ice bucket lid was falling apart, the heater had chipped paint and some sort of foam thing underneath sticking out, carpet had some stains, one of the pillow cases had a stain and the room had a bit of a slope. We weren’t overly bothered as we were only there for sleeping we spent majority of our time out of the hotel.

Good location and the room was in decent shape. Looks like they have done a somewhat recent update to them. I appreciated the parking and free public transit access. Staff were helpful. If you like a soft bed, this place is for you.

no jacuzzi
It was not very good as the jacuzzi was broke and I booked this hotel because of this. They told us we can use the jacuzzi in the next hotel. Very disappointed! Also, not a lot of storage in the room. The dresser drawers kept on opening which was very annoying. Overall not a good experience with this hotel, but Banff is wonderful.

Not great but not bad. The public areas were a bit run down and tired but the room looked to be relatively recently renovated. Very comfortable beds and the rate was the best in town this weekend. I’d stay here again.

Great value without sacrificing quality
Overall great stay. Some minor issues with the bed, it was comfortable but one side was sagging and if you tried to sit on it you might slip off. The bathroom vanity area had a corner broken but not a huge deal. Also hottub had far too much chlorine, I started coughing from the fumes the moment I got in and smelled of chlorine even after multiple showers. Staff were so attentive and helpful. Great value.

Nicely updated room, we were on the top floor and it had beautiful vaulted ceilings which made the room feel extra spacious! Very clean, comfy bed, and quiet location. It’s a bit further down Banff Ave from the super busy core, which made it quiet, and parking was easy! Still very walkable and accessible to everything you need. We travelled with our dog and they provided treats and a little toy for him!
