Really enjoyed central/Downton location next to bow River. Friendly, responsive staff and bright, spacious room. Shared microwave on each floor was useful. Property and room dated, but very clean. They were starting to replace carpets, which was a good idea. Appreciated access to pool/hot tub/steam room facilities at Banff park Lodge next door as well as their underground parking. Learned they have pet friendly rooms, so I may be back.

Do not let the hotel suggest a downstairs river view upgrade during the winter because, as good as it sounds, the river will most likely be frozen.

Enjoyed the location of the hotel and proximity to area attractions and restaurants. There is free parking which is a definite bonus! Hotel is older but the rooms are spacious and staying at this hotel allows guests access to amenities at sister hotel. Will definitely stay here again!
