The staff at this property were wonderful and kind! The property itself is not what it looks like in the pictures. The room we had booked was the loft, bathroom was dirty. There were pieces of hair all over the bathtub. The carpet had stains which looked like vomit. The counters and tables were dirty with stains all over them. Underground parking is $5 while some other properties offer free parking. Would not recommend for the price you’re paying.

Location was great! Safe, convenient underground parking. Easy to go do really anything out and about in Banff, bus stop is right there and you’re on the strip. Our room was okay, nothing wrong just expected a little more for what I paid. Especially because we were on ground level, paid for a mountain view just to have the curtains closed the whole time as people on the street could see in. The hot tub temperature wasn’t very hot, but still nice. Sitting areas and dining options were nice. Staff was friendly and kind, even wishing us well as we were celebrating a birthday.

The property is nice and centrally located. My room however was not good at all. The heating and AC was not working and it was very cold or very hot with no way to regulate the temperature. Very disappointing

Nice room on 2nd floor of the new section. Was quiet since it is shoulder season. Was upgraded to a bigger room with mountain views. Staff were polite and helpful. Bed was comfy. Quiet at night. Nothing to complain about. Would definitely stay again.
