Lovely hotel in great location
Hotel is on a great location. Lovely room with a great view of Banff and the mountains, Nespresso machine and a fridge which were unexpected, wonderful shower. Only downside were the trains passing nearby during the night blowing their horns but that wasn't the hotels fault.

This hotel is ideally located at the end of the main street in Banff, so close to shops, restaurants etc. The room was a bit tired looking but in general all was good and in working order. Nespresso coffee machine in room which was replenished every day. Kettle available on request. There was a great coffee shop attached to the hotel lobby

The location of this hotel is perfect and the staff were incredible. It feels warm and cozy but still bustling and exciting. No issues with the room, cleanliness, functionality, or anything else. We will definitely be back.

When a room is white you can really notice the imperfections. Water stains on the roof, shoddy replacement of wallpaper on the stairs, etc.

Elk and Avenue is a nice hotel in downtown Banff. It is an easy walk to the shopping area and local restaurants. Public transportation is close by and indoor parking is easy and protected.

The hotel was perfectly nestled in the heart of Banff. Indoor parking included. The Farm and Fire restaurant in the hotel is delicious for dinner as well as breakfast. Room was beautiful with gogeous views of the mountains. Grocery and pharmacy across the street and walking distance to pretty much everything around. Amazing experience even though hot tub was closed for construction. Staff was curteous and very helpful.
