The room was clean, and modern. The bed was sooo comfortable. I was very please to see our room had hardwood floors instead of disgusting carpets you find most of the hotels. However, the restaurant was a désappointement. The food was average but at Banff price ($$).

It was a good stay overall. However, I think the hotel would benefit from having a laundry room for guests. I was also surprised that parking is not included and requires an additional fee. Charging guests separately for hotel parking does not feel very professional (even though the cost is low) and could be improved.
