Liked: Cleanliness
Room was better than expected, quite spacious, nice high ceiling and had little balcony overlooking Banff Ave. Very pricey for what it was, but that's what you get in Banff during peak season I guess. Great location to centre. Parking was also great.
Clean inside and out, friendly staff (not just front desk staff - everyone), great location, good noise isolation from street, pet friendly, and wonderful smelling hand soap.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Pros - good location, large room, clean
Cons - feels old and dated more like a motel
If you want a place to just sleep in between your adventures that's close to everything this place is perfect and would stay again fi the price was right.
Easy place to stay with good accessibility to most things

The hotel is in a great location of course and the staff were very helpful even though the check in counter is located in a completely different hotel which was confusing at first.
However, the hotel is not maintained at all, it’s run down and dated. You’re just paying for the location and convenience to being in Banff
Super easy to access, only a 5 minute walk not even to get to the main strip in Banff. Hot tub was nice, however on our last night it was only half full which was strange but other than that was a really nice stay
We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was clean, comfortable and very spacious. The staff were friendly, welcoming and always ready to assist us with anything we needed. The location was convenient and close to many attractions, which made our trip hassle free. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others.

It is a long way from the main hub and found it annoying reception was at the next door hotel.
Great value for money compared to what you can find in banff.
Hotel is a bit dated, as well as equipment, but overall we had a great stay and experience was better than expected. Location is amazing 5 min from downtown and all necessities.
I will stay here again.
Hot tub after a day of hiking was much appreciated.
The Red Carpet Inn was a step down in quality and price from the attached hotel where you get your keys. We were there on Canada Day and were able to watch the parade right in front of the Red Carpet Inn. The staff was very helpful in our numerous questions. Parking is available, but a bit tricky when you first arrive.
