I love the small size of the motel and its location at the edge of the forest. And I love the art work by Jason Thompson.

The rooms are unique and very clean. My only complaint is there are no staff on site, so to check in I had to go to another hotel.

overall decent place for budget friendly stay at Banff, the heater/AC unit is very loud even at lowest fan setting (need ear plugs to sleep), understand it is not a "top of the line" unit, so be prepared room is either too hot or cold and very dry. Lots parking and pretty quiet area.
