Emily helped us check in and met all of mine and my girlfriend’s needs, it was our 5 year anniversary so Emily was nice enough to give us a complimentary bottle of sparkling wine. She gave us a very thorough list of exceptional restaurants for us to check out in the evening, got us bus tickets for 3 days, and a parking pass for our vehicle. Highly recommend this property. Thanks a lot Emily.

While a bit farther from downtown, it is still walkable (1.3 miles). Also the Roam bus stop is 30 seconds from the hotel. Having the complementary bus pass was great. Staff were helpful. The Keg restaurant is expensive but has great food and wine, and the servers are all delightful. One of the most beautiful mountains is right behind the hotel but sadly there isn't any common outdoor area at the hotel to sit and enjoy the view. Room cleaning left a little to be desired. We did not realize that the pool shown on the web site is actually a giant hot tub. This would have been fine but the chlorine is so strong we couldn't use it. Our eyes were burning after just popping in to see it upon arrival.

Do not recommend for people with asthma. The fireplace in the lobby makes the upper floors very smoky and hot. No AC to cool down the rooms. Did not sleep all night due to wood smoke. The staff was understanding and let me pull out of the remaining of my stay.

Beautiful facility convenient walk to downtown Banff. The Keg was conveniently on site. It would be nice to have an onsite coffee shop or cafe instead of ha ing to go down the street to find one. Very nice stay overall.
