Stay in Banff

For the amount you had to pay, the room and hotel was below average. The door into the room was pretty beat up, there wasn't a fitness room. We had a dog with us and anytime someone walked by the room the dog barked. Although it seemed we were placed far enough away from the rest of the people, the staff coming and going kept the dog up all night, thus kept us up all night. It's location I guess is what you are paying for
