We stayed for 6 nights in a spacious junior suite. Loved the size. Loved the gas fireplace (can’t believe it’s so cold in June). Any minor problems were fixed with great attitude by the front desk. Recommend this hotel!!

Dated Lodge hotel

Dark and dated decor throughout. Dining room especially dark with little natural light. Expensive for what it was. But captive audience in Banff, so can set price. Book as far ahead as possible for the town

Too expensive for what you get

Very expensive hotel for your average mid level accomadation. The door strike had to be repaired twice and the air conditioner rattaled so badly, I was ready to sleep in tbe car and not wake up the family.
