Decent average stay

Bed was clean, bathroom was good. Room seemed small and cozy for a decent price. Few upsets: No air regulation was maintained, so entered a very hot room. View from window- not good. It was inside of a property, not something you would want in Banff despite of paying decent price. Hot tub- good, but eyes were burning by 5 mins. Something was off, in the tub.

Nice

Hotel was clean and rooms.were comfortable, front desk staff not the friendliest, and the underground parking should be asked if people have trucks cars suvs etc our vehicle did not fit underground and scraped the top of our vehicle. But overall nice place.

Cons-stain on a curtain, semi-clogged sink, laud fridge placed between 2 beds, hot pool had foam with pubic hair in it (I guess it was due too much chemicals in the water and hair..well sometimes people lose hair but it was noticeable because it was on top of the white foam..air in the pool air was hurting eyes…no clean towels in the pool area…had to look for a person…but those things are minor things that just need attention…and all will be good…so I would stay there again once those things were fixed…Pros-friendly staff, comfortable clean beds, breakfast out of this world…it was fast, made to perfection and just simply delicious! Overall it was ok…we stayed there just for one night…so we just needed a clean bed…and we got that….but we would have issues staying there for more than 24 hours…but not with food…again food was AMAZING!
