This property is severely dated and NOT worth your money. Stay anywhere else. There’s no air conditioning and they provide an outdated fan covered in the dirt and filth of 100’s of past disappointed guests. We literally had to leave the hallway door open with the fan to get cold air into the room. The pool and hot tubs were out and had to walk to other hotels to use theirs. The elevator stalls before opening and it sounds like it’s about to fall. Horrible stay. Do NOT recommend.

This is a good hotel, but not a luxury hotel. You are paying for the location. The staff are friendly, and room was clean, but the hotel itself lacks attention to detail. For example, there is a spa, but no bath robes or sandals are provdided. After taxes, we paid well over $700 per night, and there was no coffee bar, no shower cap, the room was tiny (I estimate under 200 ft2), and the guests were loud - not no mention gas-station quality, 1-ply toilet paper. It seems the hotel charges luxury rates, but then cuts corners at the expense of the customer experience.

This hotel is dated and dirty. The furniture in the rooms is dirty and worn. Hot tub and pool out of commission. No drinking water in the rooms. Extremely disappointed for the exuberant price per night! If you are going to pay $500 a night, choose wisely.

Liked: Cleanliness
The location was itself was a little outside of the downtown area but still walkable. Nice perk was that the hotel provided bus passes that allow us to use public transit throughout the entire bus system free of charge. Having the Keg in the hotel was also nice. What we could not believe was that this property did not have in room air conditioning. While the summer months are not extremely hot, the room still builds up heat. When we inquired with the front desk they provided fans for the room. It was unbelievable that at the price point we were not provided what is considered a basic amenity in the lowest quality hotel. What was also interesting was that the main building does have A/C in the hallways so we saw many open room doors were the fans were pulling air from there. Just didn't sit well with us.

Liked the Great location. Disliked- The pool and hot tub were closed for repair. They offered accomodations at a sister hotel which was not that close to our location. They do not serve complementary coffee in the lobby. This would be nice if your catching an early plane or tour out of Banff. They did not have a restroom in the hotel lobby. This would also be helpful when waiting for your tour bus or ride to the airport.
