I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, which is conveniently located just a short walk from downtown Banff, making it perfect for enjoying nightlife and dining options. The rooms are spacious and cozy, complete with a welcoming fireplace, adding to the ambience. The staff truly made my experience special with their attention to detail, especially for our anniversary. However, I was a bit disappointed by the parking fee that wasn't specified at booking, which detracted slightly from the value.

Our stay was lovely with clean and spacious rooms. The friendly staff genuinely enhanced our experience, especially the concierge who provided us with great local insights. However, the service at check-out could have been better, as there were some misunderstandings regarding our late check-out request, which left us a bit frustrated. Overall, it was a comfortable stay, but I might prefer a different hotel for a classic experience next time.

The hotel has a lot of potential with its spacious rooms and cozy fireplace, but the outdated decor and lack of attention from the staff leave much to be desired.

We faced confusion regarding breakfast, as we were initially told it was included but ended up paying for it. The food quality was hit or miss, not quite enticing enough for a second visit.

The hotel felt quite outdated. The common areas did not have much to enjoy, and the vibe was more akin to a 1980s care home than a modern hotel.
