The location was walkable to all the restaurants and shops. Right on the river! We had a small balcony facing the river. The rooms do need updating but were comfortable and clean. Parking was a bit weird. Free parking but if your car was under 6 ft tall they gave you park under the lodge next door. Other than that it was a great stay we will definitely be back!

Tv size is too small I guess it was mayb2 25 inch. No wifi info was given. Parking area is too small.

This is an older property. We were looking for budget accommodation as Banff is so terribly expensive and hard to find vacancies. It seemed clean, but the fixtures and carpet are old.
The location is great. We loved walking around the river, however if we ever go back to Banff I’d probably splurge for another property with a/c. With the window open and supplied fan was running, we could hear the bugling elks howling at night, and the trains were especially loud all night long.

The property location was very nice and an easy walk to restaurants and the shopping district. The property is definitely older and the room we had was quite small with very uncomfortable chairs for sitting. We are generally not people who spend a lot of time in our room, because we want to be outside. But we had two days of rainy weather so we were inside for part of the time, which is when we really noticed how uncomfortable the chairs were.
The parking lot was not very big, but the staff was accommodating on helping to get everyone a parking spot. All of the rooms in Banff are expensive, so just know going in that it doesn't have the WOW factor, but it was convenient and clean, So if that is what you are looking for, then this would be good for you.

Good location. Hotel was functional but old and quiet run down.. we stayed 3 nights, electricity in our room went out twice and we had to change room because a cold wind was blowing in the room the first night.
Personal was helpful and friendly.
