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 location is convenient just right in the middle of downtown of Banff. The area of improvement I would say is that staffs are not so attentive and did not greet with a smile. During my second stay they did not change my towels and need me to call them for that
