Cute cozy rooms with warm lighting. We had access to the hot pools of their sister hotel, which was amazing! Right behind Route 1 bus stop, and they gave us complementary bus tickets for the duration of our stay. We had an excellent stay. :)

This is a great, affordable place to stay in Banff. It is newly renovated, has comfortable beds and the rooms are outfitted with a mini fridge, microwave and kettle and Rocky Mountain Soap Company toiletries (which I love!). The decor is bright and fun. The coffee situation could be better as you have to pick it up or request it from the Canoe Hotel and make it with hot water and a filter. I would much prefer individual pods or an actual coffee maker. The highlight is the access to the hot pools at the Canoe Hotel and Suites.

The only reason for the four out of five for cleanliness is because the toilet had not been thoroughly cleaned.
