We were disappointed that we couldn’t have a fire in the fireplace. Also we were surprised the incandescent lightening that was in the room is not energy efficient. The hotel talked about conserving energy yet it had this kind of lighting throughout the room. On a positive we were impressed with the cosy rooms and the outdoor hot tub. 🙂

If your hot tub is to open for 9am and checkout is at 11am, informing guests at 9:05am that the hot tub is still not ready because they need to shovel the snow, and then not having it open until 9:50am is not a good experience.

This was my fourth visit to this place, and it’s always a great spot to relax and unwind from a tiring daily life. There aren’t any tourist attractions within walking distance, and the facilities aren’t brand new or luxurious, but I think the comfort and the sense of healing for both body and mind make this place truly wonderful.

Location away from downtown Banff so we could stargaze, wood-burning fireplace, quality toiletries, bathrobes and comfortable bed with quality quilt. Wooden furniture could use sanding and a fresh stain.
