“A good experience”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

I could not seem to find a hotel in Banff that had a separate living quarter for my 3 kids until I found this hotel. It was a good place to stay during the winter for a family with little ones like ours. Hotel has ample parking underground. The room that I booked was a LOFT. My kids were amazed at the place that I booked. They were really excited. The price was a little pricey because it was a loft. The hotel is conveniently located near all shops of main business district. The rooms were a little bit older, but decent. We only needed a place to sleep after a day of skiing. Hotel's front desk staff were courteous and helpful. In my opinion, it would be just fine to stay at this hotel over the winter but might not be as good during the summer, since I noticed there was no air conditioning. It only had fans.

“Our 2 day banff escape”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

My wife and I had a special 2 day escape to Banff. The hotel exceeded our expectations and the staff should all be congratulated for their friendliness, professionalism and doing the job right.
Our room had a great view of Banff Avenue and the mountains, the suana, steam room and Hot tub was very relaxing.
I have booked another visit to this hotel in February.

Thanks

Bill & Katherine Meyer

“Great Value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

We went in January, and got a fantastic rate. Check in was quick and easy, the bell hop ran down and helped us with the parking, and the rooms were great. A few tips: go to the bar and ask to be seated in the restaurant; wandering around in the restaurant looking for a server is not going to work; beware of the 6 foot 1 inch height restriction on the underground parking. That's not very high. My Honda van made it with a half inch to spare above the racks. Go for the commuter breakfast. It's half the price and big enough. The other breakfasts are big enough for the whole family, for the day.

“Great location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 21, 2013

We booked one night on January 19, 2013. The person over the phone was very polite when we made the reservation. One day before arriving, they called us to make sure that everything is ok and asked us if we still comming. When we arrived, everyone was very friendly, explained us how to use the code for underground parking and how to get to our room. The room was very clean, with an amaizing view. I definitely would recomend this hotel to my friends.
