I had an amazing time on my stay here. Walking distance to beautiful scenery, not at all far to downtown Banff, and stacked with some great amenities. It was particularly quaint during the winter months, and the heated floors and fireplace gave the stay such a warmth that it was impossible not to be comfortable.
The customer service was amazing! The food in the restaurant was delicious. Our room was always cleaned immaculately. The location was perfect as it wasn't right in the busy area but only a short bus ride away from downtown. Overall a great experience!
Stayed for one night and wished I spent the entire weekend. Our room was fantastic, the restaurant (The Prow Food & Drink) served delicious food and drinks and the customer service provided was top notch👌
Very quick check-in, even early, super nice concierge. Close location to everything in town. The in room fireplace was clutch. And a great view. Heated tile floor was unreal.

nice staff. just wished they had slippers in the room. most places do. also a red hair in the bathroom - we do not have red hair. perhaps leftover from a cleaner. more attention to cleanliness prior guest check in would be nice. overall good spot
