Lovely view and amazingly friendly staff. Second time we stay here in less than a month. Orbitz VIP indicated the possibility of room upgrade but this wasn’t offered on either stay. Maybe next time? Truly enjoyed our stay and would recommend it.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Large spacious room, I had a good restful sleep in comfortable bed. Although I felt that the rooms were very over-priced for the value. Parking for my room was a bit of an issue, because there was not any parking near my room (due to the first responder / fire zone) near the laundry room for my building. The first night, I heard some strange rumbling plumbing pipes as noises in the room above me overnight, later resulting in an 18" long crack in the ceiling above the tile on my bathroom floor between shower & toilet. But fortunately no evidence of a plumbing leak, at least not yet during my visit. I notified the office upon check-out about that. Otherwise, a good visit. The complimentary city bus pass was great for getting into town to eat dinner (#2 bus line), with the bus stop being down near the office.

This is a nice property located near some very scenic fields with stunning mountain views. Although there is no restaurant at this property there is a restaurant in the adjacent property, you can also eat in your room with a small kitchen. Parking can be quite tight, likely especially in winter with snow. To walk to town would be a good stroll down the hill and great exercise getting back up, transit passes were provided for local Banff busses. Pick up and drop off locations are very convenient at the property and downtown. Paul & Sharon - Kelowna, BC

We stayed here with a group while running the Melissa's race. The cabin itself was well laid out, clean, and had enough room for our group. The staff was really friendly and helpful. I booked through expedia and was struggling to get them to help me change guest numbers to avoid extra fees. Even though that should have been on expedia to fix it, it was the hotel that helped- willingly and within minutes to make sure I was charged the correct amount. Thanks for the great stay and willingness to help!

The room was cozy and clean. I thought it was tight for 7 people. (Better for 6 or less.) The steam room and sauna are tired looking, but they worked. The dishwasher needed some adjusting to get it to slide out. The firewood bundles and free a.m. coffee are a nice touch.
