Perfect, Quiet, Clean

Great motel on the edge of downtown. It was a great value, motel was recently renovated and very cute/clean. I did not give the condition five stars because someone had recently made a hole in the wall, which the motel can't be faulted for unfortunate guests. It was quiet and pet friendly. Bed was very comfortable as well and you had access to the facilities at their sister hotel, Canoe, across the street. I would definitely stay here again and recommend anyone looking for a nice, clean, quiet stay without all the fuss you'd normally get from the hotel experience.

Great place to stay, housekeeping is a little slow or understaffed. Took awhile to get to our room, but the whole room stay was great and makes pet friendly travel very easy

Good price and good location at walking distance to downtown Banff. Very clean and good shower. Not so happy with the door key. Out of the six times, it worked flawlessly once. Twice with a 30 second delay, twice after trying for about 2 minutes and once not at all. A bit frustrating experience.

Fantastic renovated motel, highly recommend. It's slightly outside of town, which was really nice and peaceful. Easy 25min walk to town or free transit. Also really appreciated having access to the amenities and services of the Canoe Hotel across the street.
