“Not bad”

Irwin's Mountain Inn

Oct 11, 2007
1/1 found this review helpful

Banff is an overpriced town that caters to the tourists. So, Irwin's is overpriced for what you get, but unless you're camping, it's not a bad deal for the town. The staff is alright; a bit stoned but alright. The sheets were clean and they have underground parking, which I never thought would have been a big deal, but it is in this town. I'd stay there again only if the campgrounds were full.

“Great Location”

Irwin's Mountain Inn

Aug 24, 2007

I stayed here in June for a week whilst in Banff. I found the rooms large and comfortable with all the standard things you would expect to find : tea & coffee, TV etc. The bathroom was rather dated but that wasn't an issue to us. There is a complimentary breakfast which is great to get you ready for the day ahead. The location is also excellent - only a five minute walk to town and based on Banff Avenue. Overall considering how cheap this property is I was pleasantly surprised with what we got for the money. Highly recommend if you are after a comfortable hotel, in a good location, at a reasonable price in Banff.

My husband and I spent 4 nights at Irwins mountain Inn during a recent trip to the Rockies. We found the staff to be friendly and accomodating and our room was big, with 2 Queen size beds, ensuite and kitchen area. The breakfasts were free, which was a real bonus, and there was no shortage of good coffee, juice, cereals, toast and muffins. All in all a great place and we would definitely recommend it.

My wife and I stayed at the hotel June 07 - the bedroom was small, the bathroom was very small the wash basin was out in the main room. The bed linen was marked and torn, it looked dirty. Having asked for a room with a mountain view we were given a view of a tour bus parked right outside the room. Breakfast was supposed to have been available but with coach parties staying lines ran out and no coffee. The hotel is very tired stair carpets torn. In parts the hotel was quite dirty. The air con. did not work . The reception staff were courteous apart from one, a relative of the owner I was told who held back our cc details with the threat of charging us for any breakages. They have a 48hr cancellation policy which in effect they can charge you for the room for at least 2 nights if you decide not to stay. I would not recommend this hotel to any one --D & L South Gloustershire , England
