The bed was broken in our room 333 everytime we got out of bed you can hear the cracking, underground parking it limited, they expect you to park in the street which could be 4 blocks away, the experience of the hot tub is cool but they don’t follow the rules people drink, there were liquor cans the first night, towels left everywhere around the hot tub. I understand they clean it between noon and 1pm but they need someone to go in there in the afternoon/evening as towels are everywhere, no clean towels, Besides that chili we ate at twice it was okay food we went to pacini’s twice (I’d recommend you eat at pacini’) Expect water (rust) on the bathroom under the mats.
We ate at Pacinis instead of chilis

we checked in at 7pm driving all day he said parking was in the underground . When we went to the underground to park there was zero parking we called the reception and he said its first come first serve we are traveling with a lot of belongings in a truck as we are moving and I asked if there was another place to park and he suggested the street there was no parking anywhere close to the hotel we ended up parking 5 blocks away. So if your looking for your belonging to be close to the hotel it’s not

The hotel is rustic and older, but priced as a higher end property. There is parking, and although it’s complimentary and a parking pass is issued for display, the underground parade is open to the public and almost always full. When brought this issue up to the front desk, there was nothing they would do about it. The rooms are small and have cheap coffee. The restaurant on site is Chillis…a chain restaurant and generic food there is just okay, nothing special at all. Be prepared to walk a good distance to get good coffee and breakfast in the morning or for a nice dinner and shopping, as this hotel is about 1-2 kms walk. The sauna and hot pool are just warm…not very hot. The gym is the worst I’ve seen in a hotel. No treadmill or machines, and smells like feet. I would recommend other hotels first.

Really enjoyed my stay at the Fox Hotel. The room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable. The front desk staff were also friendly and welcoming. Good value for money here! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this hotel for anyone considering staying here and I would stay here again when visiting Banff.

Generally ok, but not amazing. Especially for the price. Our shower didn’t drain properly so you were always standing in several inches of water.

The staff at the front desk were quite rude and impatient. The spa was SO nice, but crowded (on a Saturday) and quite small. I’m not a big fan of outdoor room access, especially for the winter and didn’t realize when I booked it. It’s very expensive for a very small room.

For what the rooms offer, the price they are charging is insane. The Fox isn’t a new hotel which is fine as long as the experience is worth the cost. There were water stains on the ceiling, stains inside the tub, the bedding is okay but nothing luxurious. Breakfast is no longer included as it used to be. Banff is becoming unreasonable where you spend $500 for a hotel for one night but aren’t getting a $500 experience by any means. Just because you can charge more than you should, doesn’t mean you should
