We are 3x repeat guests. We love this hotel and especially enjoy the rooftop hot tubs! It’s conveniently located on the main strip with many dining options available nearby and plenty of on site parking. Comfy beds, perfect shower & bath products. Always clean! See you next year!

Great location. Large room, 2 good size beds. Negatives are that the Hotel is getting a little dated. The rooms and beds could do with an update. The plus is definitely the location, right on the high street, close to shops, bars, restaurant's, buses etc. great, friendly staff. We would come back.

I stayed here for five nights while visiting Banff. The location is excellent and makes it easy to explore the town on foot. The amenities in the room were adequate, with working towels, safe, fridge, and kettle. Staff were friendly on the first evening, and overall the stay was acceptable, but several issues affected the experience, especially given the price. The room itself felt mediocre. The electrical outlets at the nightstand did not work properly. Maintenance briefly looked at the issue but did not bring tools and advised they could not fix it. Upon arrival, the bed sheets and pillowcases had visible stains. We requested cleaning twice during our stay. The first time, the sheets we placed on the floor were put back on the bed without being changed. The second request was eventually handled and the sheets were replaced. The bathroom was not properly cleaned during the stay, with the shower and sink remaining dirty, and toilet paper was not restocked unless we called, at which point only one roll was provided. The room fan was quite loud, which made sleeping difficult unless kept on a low setting. While this may be expected in an older building, it still impacted comfort. Parking was also challenging, with limited scattered spots that required checking frequently after leaving with the car. The property listing mentions a shuttle bus, but this was not directly offered. Staff explained they could only suggest third-party providers rather than arrange transportation, which
