The Inns of Banff was a great place to stay in many ways. We stayed there this October /2007. My wife and I were on our 1st Anniversary. We stayed at the Rimrock last year and its a fine hotel for luxury suites. But the Inns of Banff was just as good in staff service, heated pool was awesome, and just felt more like Banff. The staff were amazing, polite, always there to help and the rooms were beautiful. We loved the heated pool thats open year round. The view from our room in "c" building was amazing and only minutes from downtown. Overall a five star experience!!!!

This was the first hotel we stayed in on our coach trip to the Rockies and Vancouver. Our room was huge and could not be faulted. Location wise, it's just about the last hotel out of Banff so a half hour pleasant leisurely walk or so to the town centre - may be a bit too far for some but there is a free bus. Breakfast was pretty crowded as there were about 5 coaches staying there! The second day was less crowded as the breakfast times were sensibly staggered. We had a snack in the downstairs bar the night we arrived which was OK. The following night we went to The Keg 5 minutes away and had a very good steak, our first of many in Canada.

Im home from my holiday in Canada, and my stay at the Inns of Banff. Had emergency surgery , so hence the delay in posting this review.
Canada was the most amazing , awesome experience and I hunger for more. You are welcome to view pics on picasa at [-].
The hotel was lovely, yes it was a bit worn and tired looking , mainly in the corridors.It was an old hotel.However it was clean, serviced everyday with fresh coffee towels etc, the staff were more than helpful and friendly and didnt make me feel "odd" because I was travelling alone, as I have experienced in some european places.Yes there was a storm one night and the ceiling dripped water but this was rectified instantly by moving me to a far superior room, so thank you rain as I then woke up to a fantastic view of the mountain every morning.The food was fine, well cooked, not too a la carte which i prefer.I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and if anyone wishes to email questions about the hotel or canada I will willingly chat as the country and the people have made a great impression on me.I certainly will go back , and for longer.

We found our stay here quite pleasant. On arrival we upgraded our room to one with mountain views, this was a good choice. The balcony door was frozen shut most of the time, but that wasn't a problem as we didn't want to be out there in -15 anyway.

Overall we found the staff helpful and had no issue for complaint. The bar was open every night and was quite relaxing to sit in. The outdoor hot tub was lovely and cosy .

The ski bus stops on the driveway and very often due to the volume getting on here goes straight to the mountain. The return trip is excellent also as this is one of the first stops.

Their is a garage opposite which sells most things, including Pizza in the evening, milk etc. Also there is an off-license two minutes walk away.

For what it cost we would come back here again.
