The Ptarmigan Inn is located in the heart of Banff main street area. We only stayed one night at the Inn after our Rocky Mountaineer experience before traveling on to Calgary. The hotel staff were friendly and welcoming. We loved the overall look of Ptarmigan Inn with its combination of traditional wood carvings and contemporary artwork. The full sized ski racer flying out of the wall above the elevators was very cool. The food at the restaurant was great with great service. The bison meatballs with pasta was very yummy. Our room was very comfortable and quiet. We would stay at Ptarmigan Inn next time we visit Banff and for a longer time instead of one night.

Could be better.

The hotel is dated. Although the beds were nice and staff helpful, thr bathroom was tiny - even a trash bin couldn’t fit. No fan in bathroom nor was there a mirror outside the bathroom. Absolutely no view out the window. The hot tubs and sauna facilities are old and in a dark room. Not great value for $$.

Thank goodness the staff were very friendly and as accommodating as possible. The first room we were given smelled of animal urine, the second room was ok, very dated. For over $600.00 cdn a night it was not up to par whatsoever. Very disappointed in this hotel.
