"Good location in Banff. Excellent breakfast menu options even for vegetarian. Only drawback, if u have full size SUV, then it won't fit in their parking garage under the hotel and so u need to find parking space on streets. The same issue for most hotels in Banff - won't fit large full size SUVs. ..."

"The hotel was overall good. The staff was very nice. However, the hotel is a bit dated, the carpet in our room was worn out and the sink did not drain properly. Also, it would have been nice to have extra hooks and space to hang clothes and towels. It was a bit pricey for the value."
