Great cheap place to stay during the winter months. The rooms have been freshly renovated and the outside just got a fresh coat of paint (summer of 2025). The pup has excellent food and amazing staff. The inn is within walking distance of downtown and lots of restaurants.

The hotel is pretty dated, but most items are well maintained. Just the room is too close to the main street where lots of people hanging out late talking loud during mid-night which affect the sleep quality. Staffs are super friendly, kudos to the people working here.

Terrific fun and great staff in the office at the restaurant/pub. After being in a room that felt too exposed, staff were very accommodating to my request for a room off the main floor. Very comfortable beds, the amenities were as stated, and wonderful proximity to everything we wanted.
Wonderful views!

This hotel is a sweet gem in Canmore! Walking distance to everything shops, restaurants, the walk along the creek is beautiful. The room had everything you need and a great view of the Three Sisters. Staff was so friendly and quick to fix an error on the charges. We danced the night away at the bar attached to the hotel then strolled back to our room. Great stay would definitely book again.
