Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The location is excellent, but it went downhill from there. The pictures were misleading, there is not elevator, and the overall property condition was bad, it needs a remodel. Our room did not have AC and it was a hot day. There was a stand fan in the room but it made a load clicking noise all of the time and through the night. There was a live band playing from 10PM-2AM and since we needed to leave our balcony slider open because of the heat, it made it almost impossible to sleep, even with ear plugs that we had. If all you are looking for is place to sleep and close to downtown, this hotel will work. Other than that, I would not stay there.

Great location - overpriced for the quality

This was one of the more affordable options in Canmore for a couple of days exploring Banff. The reviews were decent, and the location was great, but upon checking in, we were disappointed with the quality of the room for almost $ 400 a night. The beds were decent and clean, but the room was run-down. The bathroom felt old and dingy, and there was no AC, only a beat-up fan that creaked along in the corner. It's a fine place to stay if your expectations are low for a quick motel but the price point felt insane - it's too bad they can't make some simple updates to the room to get away with those types of charges and I can't imagine the rates on a weekend if that was the price point for a midweek stay.

Hotel was clean, beds were comfortable, price was good and it was close to downtown canmore to walk for breakfast and dinners. Only complaint was parking at night on weekends with the bar being busy. We had to park across the street on private property as we could not get a space in parking lot.
