We stayed 2 nights. While the outside of the property looked a bit run down, the room was well presented and had the required amenities. Close to 8th street which has good food places. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Very nice staff and quick to solve problem. Hotel doesn’t have air conditioning. Which sometimes can be an issue on a hot day. Our room was over a pub that extended outdoors. And across the street was another. So on the weekends if you have to leave your windows open to cool off, it was very noisy. They did offer in-room fans. Very scenic views!

The carpet needs to be replaced. It looks so worn-out and dirty. The room smells like hospital with strong smell of bleaching formula. It is not comfortable to use the toilet. Will avoid this place next time.

Tired and dated
On arriving we were hit by the poor state of the exterior. The room was very tired, but clean and comfortable. Only 2 coffee sachets were provided daily, giving us one cup each. The whole place is in need of some serious tlc, web photos are very deceiving. As for the pub itself, it was dire!!

Our stay was very good. Close to Banff and the Lakes. It ws very satisfying and they were on the news because they were helping fire victims from Jasper.
