Worst experience ever in Banff .. I have stayed in many hotels in downtown Banff and they are much better with more facilities in the room. This hotel is outdated except for their front desk and restaurant. Specially there restaurant manager that guy who takes your booking and sits you is arrogant and I am sure he is not from hospitality background as there is no sense of hospitality in him. I am sure many other people will agree who have stayed there as I spoke to another guest and they said the same thing. Rooms are outdated like from 90s with no fridge and microwave and bathtub has mold specially room number 702 .. if you are travelling with kids this can be a nightmare … we reached hotel at 2 pm and requested a early check in and was told that it will be ready in an hour and we will call which never came and we came back at 6pm. There was no follow up at all. Rooms were smelly with way old furniture and not in good condition. Flush do not work properly and tap flow is very low/slow::: I will make sure any of my known do not visit this hotel at all. And once again the restaurant manager is rude with no sense of hospitality. Please avoid there restaurant. Waste of money … you can find a better hotel in Banff downtown at a lower price but much better facilities and a nice respectful staff ..

Feels like a sanctuary. Every staff member has been kind to me and if something needs attention, maintenance arrives quickly. Seems like staff goes out of their way to be exceptionally accommodating. The manager has gone above and beyond and is very hands-on with making sure all her guests are happy. I am extremely grateful for the kindness I have received and will recommend this property to everyone needing a safe haven to heal and rejuvenate.

My second booking they said was an "upgrade" but I had no shower pressure or outside space. Love the staff but not thrilled with them deeming this place an "upgrade". It is not what I o paid for.

The resort was very quiet which was what we were looking for. The Prow was delicious for the Easter brunch. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. I would stay here again and recommend this resort to others

We spent one night in this place. In one word, that was an awesome place! The room was enough big with all required equipment like an additional heater, tasty coffee, … I personally liked the hot tub. I used it in April when outdoor was chilly. I recommend that you bring your water and slippers.
