The location couldn’t be better—just by the river and few minutes from the heart of town, making it perfect for exploring the town. What stood out the most was the exceptionally warm and helpful staff. I would highly recommend this place if anyone is looking for convenience, comfort, and excellent service in Banff!

10/10

This is a staple of any trip to or through Banff for us. We don't bother looking for others. Yes, this place has aged over the years but they try to keep it modernized as best as they can. It's always clean, always kept up and, along with its neighboring hotel, always competitively priced. From there, restaurants, convenience stores, grocery store, hospital and even Tim Hortons are within a short walking distance.
