This was our second stay at The Elk & Avenue, having visited first in October 2023. We really enjoy this hotel. The staff are terrific, the hotel is attractive & comfortable. We've eaten in the restaurant quite a few times, and the food & service are great. Our room was spacious and we loved the mountain views! The beds are very comfy. The location of the hotel couldn't be better, as it's smack dab in the middle of town, and everything is just a short walk away. All in all, a really pleasant place to stay while you enjoy the beautiful park! We highly recommend this hotel!

Great location and friendly staff The hotel is convenient for those who want easy access to the main shopping areas and restaurants in Banff. The staff is very friendly and accommodating, always willing to help. My only small concern is that it can get a bit noisy between rooms at times — so if you’re a light sleeper, you might want to keep that in mind. Overall, a great stay and excellent value for the location.

Really expensive for a room that was noisy as heck and had a nasty stained carpet. Location of the hotel was good and the restaurant was delicious.
Stained carpet was really concerning.
Carpet was in rough shape.
Not a good vibe with stained carpet.
