Stay in Banff

For the amount you had to pay, the room and hotel was below average. The door into the room was pretty beat up, there wasn't a fitness room. We had a dog with us and anytime someone walked by the room the dog barked. Although it seemed we were placed far enough away from the rest of the people, the staff coming and going kept the dog up all night, thus kept us up all night. It's location I guess is what you are paying for

The hotel’s location is perfect, but the room on the top floor is very noisy — it seems there’s some kind of machinery running on the roof continuously.

Perfectly located hotel

The view was impressive; and the hotel is clean and very comfortable. The staff was very courteous, helpful and knowledgeable. The location is perfect - close to downtown shops and restaurants. I wish we stayed longer in this hotel.
