Our family has had a generally pleasant stay at Charlton. The staff is attentive and helpful. However as a motel-like accommodation that charges C$ 600 per night (which you should expect in the peak season in the popular small Banff town), there are a few points I have to say: 1. Both the interior and exterior need a serious refurbishment. 2. The sound proof in the room is even poorer than a real motel. 3. The charged onsite car parking for the guests is pointless. The inn locates outside the fee-parking zone of Banff. Nevertheless, I'm still appreciated I am able to find a place to stay in the peak season Banff town for my family vacation.

Staff weren’t available to help us with our luggage upon arrival. The room was not what we had expected based on the pictures, and the room we stayed in was overpriced by quite a fair margin. Our bedroom was up a set of dangerously steep spiral steps while the bathroom was on the main floor. Flooring was old and dirty so we wore our shoes and slippers throughout our stay when in our room. If you love your family don’t let them stay at the Charlton Banff.
