Brock, Feb 2022
It is a cheaper option to stay in Banff, and that's what we expected. The stay experience was good enough for us. Having the more premium sister hotel across the street with a pool/hot tub was nice to have access to.

Anonymous, Oct 2018
Pros (+) loved the location, the view from my room, and the overall good feeling I had when I walked into the room. Comfortable bed, very clean bathroom with lots of towels, quiet for sleeping, etc. Also there were extra blankets available in the room (if needed); that was appreciated.
Cons (-) the ledges along the windows/patio door could have been vacuumed a little better - none the less, it was still a clean room both in the bedroom/sitting area and the bathroom
