Hot tub!

Great staff. Loaned us umbrellas, delivered a microwave to our room so we could heat up leftovers from the restaurant. Great outdoor hot tub. However, door was extremely hard to pull tight enough to lock, so I informed the front desk about it.

Disappointing stay in Banff

Nice setting, a bit out of the center of town. If you happen to have a room facing the mountains, it's a peaceful setting, otherwise you will be facing a road. Check-in staff was very helpful, however, the lobby is only accessible by stairs and when you have heavy luggage, it is a hassle. The service in the bar and restaurant was extremely slow.
