Everything was great here, staff were super helpful. So conveniently located for banff NP and can walk to downtown area where all the shops and restaurants are at. Room was super clean. Get great amenities like being able to use the pool/ hot tub for the hotel next door and they give you tea, hot chocolate or coffee to for you to make. Great place and will definitely stay here again when we come back!

For reasonably priced, clean accommodation was excellent. While out of the hustle and bustle of downtown Banff, your room stay includes a free bus pass to explore Banff and beyond. We had dinner in the restaurant at the Canoe Hotel across the street. Was much more fairly priced that restaurants downtown, and the food and ambience was excellent.
