Very convenient location in Banff downtown area with lots of shopping, dining & entertainment options. Free shuttle to sunshine village, Lake Louise & Norquay ski resorts is very convenient. Rooms could use some interior upgrades, air conditioning/heating units are quite loud & noise from hallways can easily be heard through the steel doors & walls. My son & I we’re staying for 12 nights & unfortunately there was a minor hockey tournament in town & the kids running back & forth the hallways & playing mini stick hockey made it near impossible to get any real sleep for four nights of the weekend they were there. Following weekend had another group in for a tournament & was much the same. Other than the poor soundproofing between rooms & hallways its is a very convenient location & staff were great.

Great place to stay. free parking and many amenities to be had while also being right in downtown banff with easy access to nearly all your needs. for the size of the room i feel it’s a little overpriced but overall a great property and great staff with clean, well maintained amenities like the hot tub and sauna. would definitely stay again and recommend it to those in the banff area.
