Excellent location. Very easy to go into town to get supplies and to visit National Parks. Food was a little expensive at the restaurant but food was good.. Service was great! Some of the furniture in room was dated/used. But overall, nice! I would stay here again.

Unfortunately shortly after checking in we received a call for an emergency at home and had to 'check out' 15min later. Property and staff were all great and helped out as much as possible. Con: because we booked the hotel last min it was a non refundable room. Obviously the hotel couldnt do anything, and disappointing, expedia refused to show any compassion for our situation in any way. Going forward, i will be using hotels directly, or another booking app, and expedia will be un installed

We checked in, and as we enter the room I noticed the dust flying over around. The bedsheets also didn't look clean at all. Hence, we asked the hotel staff to change the bedding and clean up the room. However, they didnt listen to our concerns and told us to find a new room with my whole family around the evening. Its the weekend which makes it even more difficult to find a new place and when all we asked for was simple accommodation. Even before all this, there parking lot height was not sufficient even to enter my pick up truck into the parking lot. It should be on them to rely us this message. We could have been in a bad position. With all of this, I had such terrible experience with staff, and accommodations. The staff needs to be little more considerate and try to accommodate. There were kids with us and due to all the commontion even they got scared. Terrible experience.

This property was very nice- has a spa and the Keg on site and the parking was free. They included 4 complimentary 3-day bus passes for our family and check-in and check-out was quick and easy. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend.

Nothing special about the property, It's a typical lodge. My disappointment falls in the the false advertising with the property and Expedia. They showed (have since taken it down) a very inviting outdoor pool, which was the second photo in the rolodex of pictures. At $600/night, as most properties were when I was booking, that pool was the deciding factor in my booking. When I got to the property and settled in, I went to see where the pool was... well the front desk wasn't surprised to find me looking for it, as lots of customers do, except its not on the property, its a "spring" located somewhere else. Also theres no AC, so put the fan on and slept with the window open, only to be woken up all night by the trains blasting their horns as the went by, 1-2 (small) blocks away. Then there was refrigeration Semi trucks parked behind us in the morning after a bad nights sleep, constantly running as they need to keep the food cold. Another thing as well, the Gondola. We booked through our hotel the last night we were there to go up the Gondola for Dinner. We were told theres restaurants up there that serve, until the mountain shut down, as we were one of the last groups up... however, they failed to mention that 2 of the 3 restaurants were closed for a private event, and the only other one had shut down by the time we were ready to eat... $200 for the two of us to go up there, specifically for a dinner at the top of the mountain... Banff however is beautiful. But I had to share

We thought the hotel was OK. The rooms were a bit dated, and the amenities at the hotel were limited, such as coffee in the hotel lobby not there. Staff seemed friendly and helpful.
