We loved the yummy breakfasts served right to our room. The bed was really comfortable and the room was very clean. Very friendly staff. Enjoyed the hot tub and the mountain view. Would definitely come again. Suggestion’s would be a higher toilet ( easier for older people) and a bigger TV with a movie channel or access to ordering a movie. Other than that it was awesome.

The front desk people were really friendly and polite. We were able to enjoy our stay with no issues or noise. The view was amazing to look at in the morning especially with our room service breakfast which was included with stay. I definitely will stay there the next time I’m in Banff! Thank you so much for you kind costumer service. :)

This hotel is in a beautiful location and the outside looks like a perfect romantic retreat. In saying that for the price we paid we were expecting a bit more. The rooms and furniture were tired looking and really need a makeover. On a very positive side the complimentary breakfast brought to the room was extremely yummy.

A wonderful retreat with spectacular views

What a great place to stay! Views are spectacular in this quaint little Inn - we woke up to an absolutely amazing sunrise over the three sisters - visible right from our bed. The staff was very friendly, and pointed us to a nice restaurant next door for dinner (beyond that restaurant, you'll need to drive into town for food). Breakfast, included with the room, was one of the better breakfasts I've had at any sort of hotel; and it was delivered to our door at a predetermined time. We stayed in the Honeymoon suite which has a hot tub in the room. Something I didn't realize is that the hot tub is also the shower - which is a little weird... So you're showering right in the room. There is a shower curtain, but it's just one step away from the bed. Not necessarily a bad thing, but was a little unusual. I would happily stay here again.
Brian, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

So warm in the room that we had to leave sliding glass door halfway open all the time when we were in the room. We would prefer to have a bath/shower as part of the bathroom rather than feeling as though it was in the living area. We didn’t use it. Access to coffee/tea other than at would be preferable. Service in general and breakfast were fantastic.
Laurie, 2-night trip

What a gem this place is! The breakfast was sooo good and our room was very comfortable. Enjoyed chatting with the owner to get those tips about visiting Banff. We would definitely stay here again!

Unique - perfect for some, but not for everyone

This had a 9.4 when I booked it, and was probably the first time I've been disappointed with a hotel with that kind of rating. On one hand, its very quaint and nice, definitely unique, nicely decorated, and had a good atmosphere. But the lack of amenities was a problem for me. There was no coffee/hot water kettle in the room (but they did have an ironing board?!). The room was very cold at night, with no thermostat for me to adjust. To make matters worse, there is no one at the front desk after around 7, so since I arrived later in the evening, there was no one to ask for help. Serving breakfast would be very nice, but they only will serve it between 8:15 and 9:30 - which are pretty limited hours. On the one day that I did get the breakfast, it was fabulous.

The price for what we had, paying more to get a jaquizzi tub and wanting to use the hottub to find out both are not to be used after the hours of 9pm. Ridiculous! You should be able to use to 1030pm or 11pm. No wonders both do not get used.
