Excellent location and great stay!

We had a quick 24 visit to Banff, and this hotel was perfect. We had lunch in their restaurant and were able to walk and explore the whole downtown easily. Hotel was comfortable and well kept. Would definitely recommend!

Room seemed a bit dated, view to the utility area through the window was ugly. But we were only there overnight, so was okay. A lot of money for the room we got.

Hotel side was fantastic. Restaurant (Farm & Fire) was the opposite. They were snooty/uppity, in the name of "culture". Didn’t have a normal eggs, meat, and Hashbrowns type meal on the menu. No omelet either. Didn’t have anything children would eat - no chicken strips, no mac & cheese, no fried fish filets, nothing. When asked, they were offended someone would order something so basic from their restaurant.
