I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were still being renovated but were toasty with a small balcony offering a view, although the staff was unpersonable. They went out of their way to assist, even providing a plunger when needed, but there were issues with a wet carpet and a bloodstain on a sheet that was disappointing and disrupted our stay in Banff.

My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were not only comfortable but also had real silverware and ceramic coffee mugs, a lovely touch. The location was great, just a short walk to downtown. The service was attentive and accommodating, although a bit more friendliness would have been appreciated. However, the dining experience was basic for the price of the night, and breakfast starting at 7 am wasn't convenient for early risers.
