Lovely, clean and modern hotel in a great location. The view from the bedroom window was stunning, and the hotel is perfect as a base for exploring Banff park and the area. Being able to see Ha Ling Peak from the bedroom and knowing that I’ve climbed it was very special.

Nice over night stop and was surprised to find an EV charger which was helpful to me. The hotel was busy with coach parties but the staff were helpful and room clean with a lovely view over the loch. Pizza in the bar was good, limited choice of larger to drink.

What a delightful place to stay! The view was gorgeous and worth it. Definitely an older hotel, but the staff was extremely accommodating and helpful. The restaurant was excellent, albeit hot. Overall, I would absolutely recommend this hotel!
