Enjoyed our vacation
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The front desk service was friendly, and the room was very clean, exceeding my expectations! It would be perfect if the tissue quality were a bit thicker. The hotel offers free shuttle to the town and Banff Gondola, and there's a bus stop right next door, making it very convenient to get around. Overall, we were very satisfied with our experience!

Awful place to stay
We were given a room on what they called the first floor but it was partly underground. The entire floor reeked of the very strong odor of chlorine. I asked for a change of room and was given another room. My question is: Why were we given a room in the dungeon when there were other rooms available in the upper floors? The gentleman who signed us in needs to be trained in customer service. I was standing by the check-in counter for a few minutes and he did not even acknowledged my presence. When I approached the counter, he said he was not ready to assist me. What? He should have said: Good afternoon, I will be able to assist you shortly. Also, the pillows had a funky smell. There was no air conditioning so we opened the windows. The bathroom was clean though. I will not be staying here again. I will also tell my friends to book elsewhere when in Banff.

The hotel was in close proximity of the bus station that could take you to the main shops downtown and the hotel provides a bus pass for you at check in. The room is somewhat clean, carpet was not clean inside the room nor the bathroom floor but otherwise good. Hotel staff were great and bery welcoming. Dining option at the hotel is great as well with a buffet breakfast option. I would stay there again.
