Loved our stay. The room was bigger than we thought it would be and well stocked for our trip. Nice to have a pool and walking trails right there! We will have to return in the fall to use the fireplace. Only wish there was AC as our room got pretty hot and being ground level it was hard to have the windows open at night with the bedroom being right there. All in all a great stay

Overall a great stay. We have stayed in Banff many times but it was nice to be away from the townsite and to enjoy the quiet of the mountains. We had a large group and one room wasn’t quite ready for check in time but the stay was fantastic and the bus passes made travel to downtown a breeze. Beautiful views and serene setting. Would recommend to anyone.

Good stay…room was spacious and clean. Balcony had a nice view. Main drawback was no air conditioning so sleeping was a bit warm (daytime highs were about 25c). Staff were fantastic - very accommodating. They give you free bus tickets that get you in to town conveniently so don’t be concerned about distance and driving/parking.
