Well situated and comfy

We stayed because it was pet friendly. We were greeted with a gift bag for our dog which was a lovely touch. Room was a nice size and comfortable. Lobby is nice and spacious and reception staff wonderful. Parking is a bit tight if arriving later. Nespresso in room was great to have.

Excellent service from staff. I was travelling with a few elderly folks and everyone goes out of their way to help. Also the hotels looks renovated so looks better than some do the pictures. The restaurant is also excellent.

Located very close to all the shops and restaurants in Banff. Older hotel that has had some updates. We paid for parking and ended up having to park outside because the parking lot was too full and many of the spots are extremely tight.
