We loved the yummy breakfasts served right to our room. The bed was really comfortable and the room was very clean. Very friendly staff. Enjoyed the hot tub and the mountain view. Would definitely come again. Suggestion’s would be a higher toilet ( easier for older people) and a bigger TV with a movie channel or access to ordering a movie. Other than that it was awesome.

The front desk people were really friendly and polite. We were able to enjoy our stay with no issues or noise. The view was amazing to look at in the morning especially with our room service breakfast which was included with stay. I definitely will stay there the next time I’m in Banff! Thank you so much for you kind costumer service. :)

This hotel is in a beautiful location and the outside looks like a perfect romantic retreat. In saying that for the price we paid we were expecting a bit more. The rooms and furniture were tired looking and really need a makeover. On a very positive side the complimentary breakfast brought to the room was extremely yummy.

A wonderful retreat with spectacular views

What a great place to stay! Views are spectacular in this quaint little Inn - we woke up to an absolutely amazing sunrise over the three sisters - visible right from our bed. The staff was very friendly, and pointed us to a nice restaurant next door for dinner (beyond that restaurant, you'll need to drive into town for food). Breakfast, included with the room, was one of the better breakfasts I've had at any sort of hotel; and it was delivered to our door at a predetermined time. We stayed in the Honeymoon suite which has a hot tub in the room. Something I didn't realize is that the hot tub is also the shower - which is a little weird... So you're showering right in the room. There is a shower curtain, but it's just one step away from the bed. Not necessarily a bad thing, but was a little unusual. I would happily stay here again.
