Had a great time. Very clean room. Staff friendly. The best part is the hot pools and sauna.

Super friendly staff as expected of the typically friendly Canadians. Large comfortable room that was spotless, fun restaurant and fireside bar, two huge open air hot tubs, walkable to downtown Banff shops.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
Clean rooms, easy check-in and really nice hot tub area.

We had an amazing stay at the Otter Hotel. The property was beautiful, the room was clean, the onsite dinning was delicious, and the staff went above and beyond to make our stay during our anniversary a special one. Thank you again!
