I stayed in Banff with a couple of friends during a road trip across Canada. Beautiful town - would love to go back when the mountains are open for skiing. Stayed at Bumpers Inn because it was cheap. We were checked in by a rude staff member, she was more insterested in chatting to her friends on the phone than helping us. Very condescending (and judgemental) towards 3 young femlaes, she even warned us about noise etc - before we'd even checked in!! The room smelt pretty bad - sort of musty and old. Rooms sparsely furnished but clean, no facilities onsite like a pool or restaurant. And too far from the main centre of town - at least a 20 minute walk. Friends of ours stayed at The Red Carpet - about $10 extra a night, and only 5 minutes to town. We ate at Bruno's - great little bar/restaurant, just off the main street.

When we first got there, the front desk agent gave us a room full of mouse traps accidently, then we moved to a second floor room, which was nicer because of the vaulted ceilings. The bathroom was nice, it must've been fairly recently rennovated. I didn't like the location so much, as it is a long walk from the town centre. Overall it was decent and clean, and I would stay there again.

I was keen to visit Canada because of its natural beauty and unbeatable snow record.So I arrived to a winter wonderland and more than a friendly hospitable welcome upon arrival at my accomodation.My room was well equipped with all facilities that I required. It was warm and most inviting to power shower after a days fun on the slopes or absorbing the clean crisp air whilst strolling around the national park. The frequent sight of rare to the brit wildlife was great and also educational. The food in town was above quality standard and priced fairly to anyones budget and always served with a smile and full etiquette How sad after 12 days of heaven was I to have to leave such a beautiful clean friendly and relaxed way of life and to only dream of the opportunity of one day living there. Roll on next January.

Stayed in Bumpers for 4 nights as part of 3 week vacation in Canada. We had a very large room with comfortable bed. This motel is one of the cheapest in Banff and it certainly did not dissapoint. We would stay here again if ever in Banff.
Dinned in Bumpers Steak house for three nights. The self service salad bar was great.
You also get a 10% discount for breakfast in a restaurant across the street.
