We were here for our 35th wedding anniversary. As soon as the staff found out, they sent us a hand signed card and two bottles of champagne. Very nice! (Warning: We had to change rooms. The initial 'Orbitz/Expedia/Travelocity room was a dumpy broom closet. The new room was great!)

The property was conveniently located in Banff.The hot tub has a nice view, but was dirty around the edges. The guest laundry was filthy. Our AC went on standby and would not go off standby. A tour bus and another blocked us in when returning to the hotel . We had dinner reservations and could not make the time.

The beds were comfortable and the shower was really good. Furniture and carpet need updating. Seating was totally inadequate: one uncomfortable chair not enough for two people. Small consul table passed off as a desk totally inadequate. Sockets and charging points not convenient. Lights totally inadequate. A/c clearly switched off at night so the room was too warm.

Shower had gobs of hair on the wall. Told the front desk and asked them to have the shower cleaned while we were out during the day. Came back and shower still wasn’t clean. Air didn’t work. Ice machine near the room wasn’t working - had to walk to another section of the hotel to get ice. Reported the issues to the front desk at checkout and they could care less. Way to expensive of a hotel to have a dirty hot place to stay. Great location but they did nothing to take care of the issues.
