Centrally located in the town of Banff. However our room was on the first floor in the back above the underground garage door which was noisy all the time especially when staff was rolling out bins early in the morning or late at night or delivery trucks were unloading

VERY LIMITED PARKING. Was told to find street parking and pay for that or park our car for free from 20:00-08:00 in certain street areas. The inn itself wasn't bad stay was pretty average, nothing terrible, but also nothing out of the extraordinary. Hotel felt a little old, but still clean. Room was larger than expected which was nice. The washroom was a little weird, with the sink outside of the washroom in the main room. We also had a room on the first floor that did not have any windows leading to the outside, which was little annoying. Our view outside the window was the floor right by the dining area. The doors are also quite thin and do little in sound isolation (a loud group came around around 3 AM, and I could hear their every word).

Ok stay in Banff

The location is great to walk around downtown and to restaurants. It definitely needs some updates; the rooms are showing wear and tear. Pillows are odd in that they are square and hard. Rooms are a tight fit for 2 adults. The heater would turn on and off all night, blowing in my face. Annoying.

Who ever checked me in was so kind. I was willing to pay for an upgraded to a room I thought I had booked but she upgraded me for free. And real treat. The one improvement I would mention is not to answer the phone when the guest is in front of you checking in. Face to face should come first then phones. Regardless that didn’t bother me at all.

This Inn was right in downtown Banff. Two blocks to retail and restaurants. The ski bus stops right in front of the Inn which made it very convenient to get to the slopes. It's not a luxury hotel but is nice and clean and a good value for the money. The staff was excellent and made sure our stay was top notch.

It was an average stay…we have stayed before but seems understaffed now. Booked a superior room not standard but seemed like it was a standard room not sure if we got what we paid for. It was clean though which was a plus! Close to downtown which is another plus.

Amazing customer service! Every staff we met was extremely welcoming. The front desk staff even stopped her lunch break to check us in as we ended up getting there early. They were so accommodating, even offering to switch our room so that we could check in early. Provided excellent recommendations on things to do (and how to get there) and places to eat. Plus the room was nice and clean with amazing local, natural soaps for you to use too! Absolutely wonderful!
