Nice folks at the front desk. Clean room. Desperately needs a facelift as far as painting and floors outside and general dirtiness. It was quiet though. I was surprised being next to a rowdy bar.

Hotel was clean, beds were comfortable, price was good and it was close to downtown canmore to walk for breakfast and dinners. Only complaint was parking at night on weekends with the bar being busy. We had to park across the street on private property as we could not get a space in parking lot.
