Good price and good location at walking distance to downtown Banff. Very clean and good shower. Not so happy with the door key. Out of the six times, it worked flawlessly once. Twice with a 30 second delay, twice after trying for about 2 minutes and once not at all. A bit frustrating experience.

Fantastic renovated motel, highly recommend. It's slightly outside of town, which was really nice and peaceful. Easy 25min walk to town or free transit. Also really appreciated having access to the amenities and services of the Canoe Hotel across the street.

This is a very charming little motel and we loved staying there. It is very clean as well. My only complaint is that room cleaning service was not as great. But the staff at the mother hotel Canoe were great.

Cute cozy rooms with warm lighting. We had access to the hot pools of their sister hotel, which was amazing! Right behind Route 1 bus stop, and they gave us complementary bus tickets for the duration of our stay. We had an excellent stay. :)
