Had a great time with my family close to downtown and tidy. Comfortable bed
5.0
The accommodation was comfortable and within walking distance of the downtown area.
It also had a convenient parking lot.
We really liked the accommodation overall, but the only drawback we encountered was that the drainage in the bathroom shower was not very smooth and water would often pool.

I had given 5 stars for this hotel in the past but this time my experience was very bad 👎 from the start when i checked in ,had requested for early check while booking the room online, upon arrival was advised by the front desk agent named sherly a very rude agent never saw at this hotel usually all the staff here is very friendly and professional sherly told us room was not available and gave us the time to come back so we came back and she gave us room on main floor which we requested to change for upper floor room she told us hotel is fully sold out then we ask to speak to manager and she got panic and gave us a room on 3 floor in like a minute then we asked for breakfast options she told us that because you booked online and not with them u dont get breakfast options then upon entering the room we found out she gave us a room with no view at all ,we always check in to this hotel everytime we visit banff great location ,centre of town very convenient parking, we will definitely come back hopefully we don't encounter unprofessional, unwelcoming, very rude front desk agent shirley

Great location in the heart of Banff, affordable price. Only have a minor complaint and it’s the tv. Really needs to be updated with a smart tv, we’re in the 21st century. It would be nice to come back to the room after a long day of exploring or skiing or even going out for a few drinks and getting back to the room where you can watch decent shows or movies. Even if that means logging in to your personal Netflix account. The fact that there’s the same 2 movies and highlights of old sports games is mind blowing. But maybe that’s the policy so people are out and spending money, but not everyone wants to go out and drink all night nor have the privilege to do so. Another minor inconvenience was the hotel restaurant was closed the two nights we were there due to some maintenance, what are the chances right.? But regardless there were lots of places to choose from close by. Still a very nice place to stay at whether it’s a couple, family, or a few friends.

We had 25 degrees in the room all night, and were not able to get the temperature down. The next day I confronted the front desk, who could tell that their air conditioning was off at this time of year. We had 2 terrible nights, without much sleep
3.0
The biggest disappointment was that in 4 nights no one showed up to clean the room.
I am not sure this is any eco-friendly feature, but personally I believe that hotels moving away from daily room service are making a big mistake

The Hotel presents itself as a very nice almost “resort like” building that you would see in say: Mexico. It’s on the main road, and the rear abuts anther street. It is central to everything.
The Desk check in staff was most courteous, efficient, and professional. He also answered my questions regarding the nearby Town, points of interest, and Restaurants and Pubs. The room was well laid out, spotlessly clean, and the bed comfortable. Pillow options were good.
A coffee bar is in the Lobby as well as a small Pub. The main Restaurant is good with a reasonable selection of menu items. The Hotel is 1 minute from central Banff. I would stay here again for sure.

The hotel has a great restaurant and lounge and several cozy seating areas to play games throughout the lobby area. There is a coffee shop attached which is also awesome. Rooms were finished and clean and had Nespresso coffee

Clean room in an easy to get to location. No oversized parking so we had to park 2.5 blocks away to get overnight street parking. Quick walk with great views so all in all not too bad of a thing!

Quiet hours didn’t seem to exist at this hotel
On the weekend. Adults making noise at 11,12,2 am. Great location, rooms been redone but items didn’t work such as the overhead fan. Probably won’t stay here again as this would be the 4th time ive stayed here. I’ll give another location a shot.

Loft suites could do with updating, more comfortable sofa, drawers and mirrors in the bedroom.
Had a pursuit rewards card with discounts for Albertans but hotel would not allow us to use it as we hadn’t booked direct with them.
The restaurant Farm & Fire was really good for food but unlike other hotels you could only have drinks in the restaurant and not in the more comfortable bar seating/ sofas due to staff issues??!! We were there for 2 nights and had specifically picked this hotel for its bar and restaurant facilities. Another minor point but worth noting no bottle of water in room had to pay $3 for one from vending machine.

The room looked great and everything was well stocked and working.

The location was perfect considering we were there on a weekend where it hit -40 as it's so close to everything and we did not/could not walk too far!
Overall though our room had quite a few things wrong with it - fridge/heat/fan/phone did not work. The staff was great though and moved us to a new room, just a hassle of having to move mid stay. Also on the last morning, we went to use the hot tub and it had been drained and was out of service - there was no mention of this when we checked in and we specifically asked that it would be functioning for the weekend. That was disappointing.

Great hotel, close to the main town and right beside the ski bus stop. Fantastic staff who went out of their way to help.
Would book here again in a heartbeat.
