The hotel was in a convenient location for us and we enjoyed the little walk into town for eating and shopping. The room itself was great - clean, spacious and well equipped. However the view was awful, we just looked out at other guests’ rooms. Also, the air conditioning unit was really noisy and there was no option to turn it off and open a window instead. Another thing, the hotel charged us extra for parking which considering the room wasn’t exactly cheap to start with made it poor value for money. Also, we wanted to use the pool for an early morning swim but it didn’t open until 10am.
Big plus though was the free bike rentals from the hotel, we used these loads to explore the local area.
Banff is an incredibly beautiful place and we enjoyed our stay immensely, but we would look to stay at a different hotel if we came back.
