Like the stay, only issue was the parking. My vehicle was too tall to fit in the underground parking. Had to pay for parking in the high school parking lot, but was only allowed to park there during the weekend. Had to park nearly 3 blocks away for the final 2 nights. Would not stay there again due to this issue.

Beautifully redone lobby and great location. Quite frankly, the room chosen for us sucked. It was dirty, no natural light (Window was completely blocked by a plaster wall), air conditioning unit blew directly onto the bed and several of the lamps did not work. I'm sure there are nicer rooms in the facility but, 216 should be retired to storage space at best.

Our stay at the Elk & Avenue was comfortable. Staff was friendly. Our room was spacious. Only thing that was slightly inconvenient was the parking. Their underground is quite short so unable to fit larger vehicles so had to park several blocks away for free parking. Rates on the street for parking close by were not reasonable for full day parking for multiple days.

Not sure

We have to park in oversize and parking is limited and had to pay 10 to park across the street out of the way which is garbage. Also for the cost dont ask me if i want to cleam my room just clean it. Its a vacation getaway this is one of the luxuries of it.

Perfect Location to Banff Shops and Restaurants

Perfect Location in Banff as it is near the shops and restaurants so you can step out the door and enjoy Banff even if the weather is cold. Underground parking so your vehicle is safe and warm. The rooms are spacious but the bed seemed worn. The decor was nice and the staff was very friendly and helpful.
