Ok stay in Banff

The location is great to walk around downtown and to restaurants. It definitely needs some updates; the rooms are showing wear and tear. Pillows are odd in that they are square and hard. Rooms are a tight fit for 2 adults. The heater would turn on and off all night, blowing in my face. Annoying.

Who ever checked me in was so kind. I was willing to pay for an upgraded to a room I thought I had booked but she upgraded me for free. And real treat. The one improvement I would mention is not to answer the phone when the guest is in front of you checking in. Face to face should come first then phones. Regardless that didn’t bother me at all.

This Inn was right in downtown Banff. Two blocks to retail and restaurants. The ski bus stops right in front of the Inn which made it very convenient to get to the slopes. It's not a luxury hotel but is nice and clean and a good value for the money. The staff was excellent and made sure our stay was top notch.

It was an average stay…we have stayed before but seems understaffed now. Booked a superior room not standard but seemed like it was a standard room not sure if we got what we paid for. It was clean though which was a plus! Close to downtown which is another plus.

Amazing customer service! Every staff we met was extremely welcoming. The front desk staff even stopped her lunch break to check us in as we ended up getting there early. They were so accommodating, even offering to switch our room so that we could check in early. Provided excellent recommendations on things to do (and how to get there) and places to eat. Plus the room was nice and clean with amazing local, natural soaps for you to use too! Absolutely wonderful!

Meh!!!

They had us by the elevator and ice machine. Super loud all night. Everything in the room seemed a bit worn and the bed, sheets, and pillows were not comfortable. AC/Heater was loud and the air in the room was really dry.
