Arrived, staff was friendly but our room was terrible. The one bed had a large black stain on the cover sheet. The other bed had a yellow stain on the sheet and crumbs between the sheets. A fellow came up and changed the bedding, was grateful for him to do this quickly. Hair in the bathtub and the rug did not look like it had been vacuumed. Went to the hot tubs, floor was dirty and the one hot tub was cold and both looked like they needed a major clean. Was a very terrible experience will not be going back and will let others know.

Restaurant was great and fast for breakfast. Comfortable bed. Room was dark because lamps were small and only by the bed. Balcony overlooked a building with other balconies. Convenient to downtown Banff.

Great location that’s a short walk to the heart of downtown Banff. Friendly/helpful staff. Room was nice. A bit pricy, but I guess that’s to be expected from Banff in the summer!
