For reasonably priced, clean accommodation was excellent. While out of the hustle and bustle of downtown Banff, your room stay includes a free bus pass to explore Banff and beyond. We had dinner in the restaurant at the Canoe Hotel across the street. Was much more fairly priced that restaurants downtown, and the food and ambience was excellent.
