Had an amazing stay here. Will be back again. Room was clean and super comfortable. Downtown Banff is really close by, but you dont feel thats the case. Sunshine is 25 minutes away, which was perfect.

I had an amazing time on my stay here. Walking distance to beautiful scenery, not at all far to downtown Banff, and stacked with some great amenities. It was particularly quaint during the winter months, and the heated floors and fireplace gave the stay such a warmth that it was impossible not to be comfortable.

The customer service was amazing! The food in the restaurant was delicious. Our room was always cleaned immaculately. The location was perfect as it wasn't right in the busy area but only a short bus ride away from downtown. Overall a great experience!
