Appearances, appearances… The hotel looks very good on the outside, with great staff and good looking amenities (good bed, shampoo, and the such). However, quickly one realizes that it is all appearance. Not reality. The minifridge FROZE everything in it. Absolutely NO OUTLETS to connect anything to, meaning one has to connect and charge phones to only one very inconveniently placed outlet in the middle of the room. The coffee machine and water heater did not work. The cleaning was superficial, lazy, incomplete, both since we started our stay (and one has to “ask” for it. The telephone was disconnected when we arrived. The television was of very bad quality. Absolutely zero privilege of staying in the hotel for eating in the restaurant - 1 hour wait time (even though half the restaurant was empty). Is this what going to a hotel is in 2025? Not worth the price.

The housekeeping did everything requested even though when it was a late request. We enjoyed our stay. The washroom exhaust isn’t adequate I don’t think also the shower base seems to either have spots of wear and tear or just need a good cleaning which can be resolved, very minor but not aesthetically pleasing. Would visitor again

As a first-time visitor to Banff, I really enjoyed my stay at Elk + Avenue. I couldn’t have asked for a more convenient location. The bus stop was literally across the street. The staff was super helpful and friendly (a big shout out to Shirley!) and the onsite restaurant was delicious. I would come back again.
