Just ok hotel

The room was just ok. No microwave or mini fridge. No thermostat inside the room No shampoo in the shower had to ask for it after trying to take a bath. Awful bath mat with yellow stains, didn’t want to step on it. No access to your email on the computer they give for guests. Overall just ok.

Romantic get away

Our stay was great. Very nice hotel, but needs a bit of an upgrade in a few rooms. We stayed in 403, needs a new area rug, it was stained. It would also be nice to have robes in the room to where down to hot pools. And the heater in the bathroom didn't work. Overall we still enjoyed our stay

Although the room itself was nice and clean the walkways to the rooms were dirty at least the walkway outside from the main building to our room was dirty, and there were a few cigarette butts along the way. Make sure you read the fine print about your room amenities, the room we booked originally didn’t even have a fridge. Staying 2 nights we wanted a room with a fridge so we had to upgrade for $40 more per night and it was totally worth it! The room had 2 floors, upstairs was the sitting area with a couch the pulls out, kitchen table and 4 chairs, sink, mini fridge, microwave, toaster, kettle, coffee maker, plates, forks, knives, cutting board, dish towels and dish soap etc. downstairs was the bathroom and 2 beds. Overall we were impressed and would definitely come back.

I should have done more research. It was a decent hotel for the cost, I suppose. Having to walk kids back from the pool when all the rooms are outside was very not fun in the single digit temperatures (Fahrenheit). It was also quite hard with a 2yo and 5yo having the one-bedroom suite be a two-floor suite. My 2yo actually fell down the stairs at one point, which was terrifying, and there was no gate. The other (nit-picky) comment I’d make… it’s been a loooong time since I stayed anywhere without smart TVs where I could at least log into my Netflix and let my kids watch their shows. There were two kids channels on the TV, and while we didn’t go to Banff to watch TV, little kids also need downtime, and smart TVs would have been appreciated.

What a perfect weekend. A MUST STAY. I regret not staying here years sooner. 11 stars, chic hotel, modern bar, grotto hot tub. Room was super cozy, like someone turned up the heater right before we walked in (Jan 18th, -17oC). Room was super clean too, down to the last water drop being polished away from the faucets. Only a 10 min walk to downtown was shorter than we expected, so many interesting hotel lobbies and an outdoor patio bar to stop at on the walk to downtown. Quiet rooms too, with the BEST, well stocked lotions and soaps, Rocky Mountain Soaps of Canmore. Last but not least were the amazingly kind staff that recommended parking and dining options around town that we weren't even aware of, after all these years.

Never Again

The beds can use an upgrade. Both of us felt all the springs in the double bed we has. I’ve seen sardine cans bigger then the room we had. One foot from bed to wall and two feet from bed to bed. The most disappointing was absolutely no fridge in the room. The water tasted like plastic pipes. Time for an overhaul. Only descent thing was the hot tub and sauna. I guess that’s why you pay a premium for your dismal room.

Loved the pool here and the location was great! Found the rooms a little dated and although the room wasn’t dirty there were little things that could have been cleaner. Looked under the rug in my suit and found a hair elastic and crumbs which means it wasn’t moved when the room was cleaned, but nothing major.
