The concierge, Neil, was outstanding. His knowledge, efficiency, patience & friendly personality made our 5-day trip effortless. Check-in & check-out were a breeze. The location was perfect. We never needed to move our car until it was time to check out. Walkability to shopping, restaurants, & trails was perfect. Highly recommend the trail to the Bow River Falls!! Also highly recommend Farm & Fire (dinner) & Toulooloo’s (breakfast)

Good experience overall. I would recommend the hotel to take extra care for the water faucets, there was mould at the spot where the water comes out, and water boiler could be cleaner.

there were cracks in the bathroom floor that could cut a person’s foot. Not one day did they replace the towels properly after cleaning. Sometimes we had a full set and sometimes not.

I just thought for the price I can get a luxury hotel in downtown Vancouver. I know Banff is sought after. Staff was amazing thought but the food in the hotel was mediocre at best.
