The Banff Ptarmigan Inn was very nice, it was a perfect location, close to downtown and walking distance to many restaurants and to shopping. The shuttle to the ski hills was just outside the door, which was very convenient. The staff was very friendly. The cleanliness of the room was ok, except for the rug, it was not vacuumed well, you could see dust and debris along the edges of the floor by the window, and we found a sock just under the end of the bed that we know didn’t belong to us, before we left.

We really loved our stay. The room was exceptionally spacious with high ceilings and patio doors. We could walk downtown and go for dinner without starting the car. We had dinner at the restaurant downstairs and the food was excellent. We will definitely stay here again.

Location is great. Garage nice option, but small and lots of obstacles. Room sinks offer no room for setting toiletry items. Rooms have tall ceilings, which is nice. Bedding dated and smell like grandmas house. Pillows are terrible. “Health club” is a joke…In same room as indoor hot tub and hardly any equipment. Really strange setup. Meatballs, the restaurant, has great food and service-5 stars. Overall hotel rating is a 3-3.5 due to being outdated and listed items above.
