It was one of the cheapest options to book in Banff a week before the trip. It’s a little run down, but it is coming to the end of high season, so that’s fine. And really you do get what you pay for. Plus it was probably the only option with two beds for less than $700/night. I forgot how busy Banff gets during the summer.

Short distance from downtown and a little older property, so the price is slightly lower comparing to hotels nearby.

I like that the place was quiet and accessible to all. Although the hotel was quite old... its clean. Everything worked fine, the aircon, the fridge, the microwave, the tv. The bus stop was nearby. They even gave us complimentary bus passes that we used throughout our stay in Banff. We can also walk from there to downtown which we did a couple of times. It was a nice stay I can say.

The room has a terrible smell of dog pee, and no matter how long we open the windows and door for, the smell is still there.
