We've stayed at the Ptarmigan several times. It's convenient to park the car and walk everywhere in Banff. The king suite is very spacious, spotlessly clean and comfortable. The staff are very courteous and checked to see if we needed anything. The heated underground parking area is a real plus in cold weather. Our only complaint (if you can call it that) is that the room was overly warm, even with the heat turned off. However, the windows opened, so it was okay.
