I had a great time at the Elk Avenue. The location was perfect for sightseeing and shopping around the town of Banff. There were tons of options for dining, too. The staff was super friendly and helpful, especially Jozette. She gave me several fabulous recommendations for hiking and sightseeing to make the most of my few days in the area. The property even has bear spray that guests can borrow! Parking was a bit limited, but I was able to find a spot each evening. I would definitely stay here again if I am ever lucky enough to get back to Banff.

I give 1 star because the staff dismissed my disappointment that the hot tub area was closed for renovations. She said "the closure is listed on the website and on the Expedia listing. Also you got an email saying it is closed." When I booked there was nothing about the hot tub being closed, and I have reviewed the emails I recieved, and there is no mention of this closure. I would not be so bothered by the closure if she heard my concern instead of just telling me I'm wrong. Dismissive staff make for 1 star.

Safety First
Safety - The girl at front desk was nice and helpful, but when I checked in she loudly announced my room number while simultaneously holding up a paper with number written on it for anyone to see. There were men standing directly behind me and beside me at the time. Crime against women who travel solo has reason and much due to incidents like this. I simply hope the hotel educates employees on proper safety precautions. Room - There was a large structural beam that covered all of my one and only window.

Good location, walking distance to the main street of Banff and the train station. The hotel is clean and renovated and the room is spacious. There is a restaurant and coffee shop at the hotel. One issue is that you could hear some waterline sounds from the fridge/bathroom area, could be an issue to light sleepers. Overall it is a comfy and nice hotel.

Wonderful hotel centrally located.
Check in was a breeze. Parking, like almost all parking in Banff is tough. The spots are small and vehicles are rarely small. The elevators were fast and the room was fantastic. The coffee shop and the restaurant were both fabulous. I will stay again for sure.

Very good hotel in great location
Very good stay. Hotel was in excellent condition and in an excellent location. Shirley at reception was very helpful. Limited head room in the parking garage (6'1") and our pick up truck was too tall. We were given a parking spot right behind the hotel - good location. Shirley also upgraded our room - moving from pet friendly first floor to room on second floor. Restaurant is very good although quite expensive
