Room was very nice, good beds, lots of plugs for charging. Although we were on the main drag, it was quiet. All the amenities you would need, iron & ironing board, fridge, robes to wear from the pool. There was an exercise room & hot tub by the pool. Internet was good. Concierge was most helpful. I wish there would've been a microwave in the room though. Very easy to get to sightseeing but Banff Avenue was very busy this time of year.
