This was a really cute little spot and was exactly what our family needed for our stay in Banff! The amenities are all in the hotel across the street, as advertised, so we didn’t really use them. They put together cute little coffee and tea satchels for us to take back to our rooms and the staff were really kind, thoughtful and accommodating. We’ll definitely stay again!

We love our room at the Dorothy Motel - clean, cheerful and welcoming. The beds were comfortable, the mini fridge and a microwave were very useful. We used Canoe Hotel roof top hot pools and sauna across the street - the view was awesome . All in all it was a great experience. We will definitely stay again. Thank you !
