Enjoyed our stay here. One complaint is that their underground parking facility is no good for trucks, max height is 6’1. This means you must find your own parking off property. They do not compensate for your out of pocket overnight parking and they do not provide you with a street parking permit as most of the streets surrounding this property require a permit to park. The street parking beside the property is limited to 15 minutes so this was not helpful either. Also the rooms run hot with no air, resorted to opening the window in minus 25c and since the hotel is right in the heart of Banff the noise level was quite high all throughout the night. Otherwise hotel has a great location, clean, friendly staff and a good earth attached to the hotel was a bonus.

Worst hotel stay ever

Upon check in my room was 26 degrees. I called the front desk immediately, told them the temperature and was told to open a window for 5-10 minutes. I ended up leaving my window open for a day and a half and was able to get it to 22 degrees.
