Irwin's is a great value, very well located motel/hotel option on Banff Ave for those looking to be near the action without having to shell out loads. The simple continental breakfast is great if you need to get some fuel on board before a day on the slopes - saves a few bucks on a coffee and muffin from Starbucks!!... more

This was our 4th stay here in as many years. We stay due to the fact that the mountains & view from the room are what we go for rather than pos fittings. If you need a microwave & a fridge book a room with one (esp if staying say 3 weeks) Ice machines on each floor. Pleasant room service,... more

Also in the basement... more

I stayed here for 3 nights in the first week of October, 2007. I had booked through their website. It is a neat and tidy budget hotel on Banff Avenue. The location is great and they have underground parking too. The standard rooms have no balcony or microwave and do not even face the mountains. You will have to request... more

We recently spent 2 nights at Irwins' Mountain lodge. We got a fantastic rate when we phoned Irwins directly for a reservation because it was off-season. The rate was so cheap that I did question if I wanted to stay there! Our stay was perfectly fine. Bearing in mind that it IS BUDGET - FRIENDLY lodging (and not a Fairmount... more
