Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort

Meh!!!

They had us by the elevator and ice machine. Super loud all night. Everything in the room seemed a bit worn and the bed, sheets, and pillows were not comfortable. AC/Heater was loud and the air in the room was really dry.

We’ve stayed here many times because of the location. Staff are friendly, clean hotel. A bit run down but the rooms are always cozy and comfortable. My only complaint would be the hot tub wasn’t working.

I found it to be perfect for a 3 day trip to Banff. It was clean, staff were friendly, the only thing I would say is that I don't think that there was a microwave in our suite which is minor. It is a great budget option for folks looking to visit Banff.
