It was a basic hotel, could use some renovations. Our room was by the pool and all I could smell was chlorine. My eyes were burning in my room. They were completely full for the first night so we couldn’t change rooms. By the next day at 4 we didn’t see the need to change. It was kinda noisy being by the spa and pool. We had a lot of nocks on our door at all hours of day/night. We had a staff member walk right into our room, awkward!! I didn’t even have time to get up to get the door. The keg was great and the staff at the checkin were very friendly. We never used the hot tub because of the foam that was on top…gross. I would stay again if the price wasn’t so high, didn’t feel like it met our standards for what we got.

I was very excited to stay at this hotel for the first time but upon arrival, the man working at front desk was very cold and he seemed annoyed that I came into the building and interrupted his conversation with a coworker (I waited until they were done talking to finish walking up to the counter) He did not greet me kindly and he talked so fast and had a thick accent so it was nearly impossible to understand. Not one smile came across his face, which made me feel uncomfortable Hotel itself was nice. Hot tub was clean and relaxing. The pillows were horrendous and lumpy and we found random cat treats in the corner of the room which was kind of gross. The keg was delicious and the staff were super kind there. The next day we had to ask the front desk a question and this gentleman was incredibly kind and helpful. Wish he was working when we arrived. First impressions are everything.

We liked the beds, the parking was plentiful and secure. Location is ok, a bit far from things but we knew that before we came as we've been here before. Rooms are a bit dated. Housekeeping was a 5/10, they made the beds and replaced towels but they didn't vaccuum or replace sugar and coffee supplies. The fridge in the room froze our drinks solid and I was surprised to discover there was no microwave. The absolute worst thing was the wood fire smell from the lobby fireplace that permeated the entire building and was so strong in our room it triggered a migraine our first night in Banff. We had to leave a window open and a fan going 24/7 to try and air out the room but it didn't help. If ruined our stay. It burned our noses and stung our eyes. I told the front desk about it twice and was told to open the window and if that didn't help to call back and they wouldn't put anymore wood on the fire, I did that, but it didn't help and they just started the fire back up shortly after it went out. I even emailed the hotel to see if I'd get a more compassionate response but they just said they'd send in an inquiry and to let them know if we needed help with future reservations. I'm very disappointed in the lack of care from staff. The hotel needs to fix the ventilation or stop using the fireplace.

We love this hotel, our third stay there. The wood fire they have in the lobby creates a lovely smell throughout the hallways and lobby. The hot pool is excellent after a long day. I found the parkade a bit tight for my truck, but overall a great option that won’t break the bank.

I really liked the size of the hot pool. I didn't like that the sink in the bathroom drained very slow. It needed a good dose of Drano and/or a plunge to get it draining properly .

If I could attach the pictures I took of the room I was in, it would definitely support our low rating of the condition of the room . When I brought it to the managers attention , her reply was “if you wanted modern amenities, this is not the hotel for you”…..WOW..!!!! I replied that I’m not looking for “modern” , I’m looking for a clean and well maintained room , which this hotel offers neither. This does not even touch on the sub par breakfast buffet that was offered. My recommendation would be to choose another hotel.
