Very cute place, it’s a good stay for quick trip in Banff. Wish the hot tub was in both hotels as it was quite cold to walk back and forth.

The room was fine for what we needed. As long as it is clean, we don't mind if it's older and lacks the five star luxuries. Our biggest complaint was that the room was so hot and we could not control the temperature. Otherwise, the bed was comfortable (except for the pillows) and the place was clean. Great stay in Banff.
