This was my fourth visit to this place, and it’s always a great spot to relax and unwind from a tiring daily life. There aren’t any tourist attractions within walking distance, and the facilities aren’t brand new or luxurious, but I think the comfort and the sense of healing for both body and mind make this place truly wonderful.

Location away from downtown Banff so we could stargaze, wood-burning fireplace, quality toiletries, bathrobes and comfortable bed with quality quilt. Wooden furniture could use sanding and a fresh stain.

Fantastic location within walking distance to the downtown. There’s also a free bus service which will take you all places in the town. The hotel is very good and we received an upgrade to a suite which was nice. The staff are really friendly and happy to assist you. Happy hour and Pasta Monday are a must.I would definitely recommend this hotel and will be returning in the near future.

We really enjoyed our stay here!! The rooms are so cozy (we had a premium double queen) and clean. Having fire wood right outside the door with endless fire starters was wonderful! The beds were comfortable, no shortage of towels. It was quiet, parking was easy. The restaurant was great! The attentiveness of staff was super impressive! We never waited more than 5-10 mins to have something brought to our room after calling. The hot tub was lovely. The grounds a very scenic and beautiful, having a deck was such a treat when watching the sun rise over the mountain. The staff seemed very friendly and wanted to ensure we were happy with our stay. Easy check in and check out.
