Loved the quaint old time vibe of the motel in the woods and off the main street, but with all the amenities offered by The Canoe just across the street. The roof top hot pools and the view were absolutely incredible, Sudden Sally was delicious (and the happy hour deal phenomenal) and loved the size of the rooms and the bath soaps & shampoos!

Kara

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Cleanliness
The service was perfect and the front desk staff is amazing. The loaning of bear spray for hiking helped tremendously and we had access to the pool. Our stay was for a few days. The last couple days we woke up with sore backs due to the bed. Biggest complaint was housekeeping never cleaned the floors so dirt ended up on the beds and elsewhere even when we took our shoes off at the door. Overall a positive experience, a short walk to downtown. Cleanliness could be improved.

Cute Comfy Vibes

We didn’t have food options included with the hotel but there were tons of spots in the town of Banff. The bed and room was very cute and comfortable. Exactly what we needed for our stay.

Very nice hotel - the closeness to Hotel Canoe (for the hot pools and lobby/restaurant) was great, and the rooms were perfect for a family of 4 (kids under 10). The craft coffee to make pour-overs every morning was an awesome addition!

Cute decor and love the courtyard area. Beautiful! At the end of the busy street so you’re close to downtown Banff area but just far enough that it’s quiet

Great little hotel off the beaten path but with easy access to restaurants and town bus. Bonus to use Canoe Lodge facilities for pool and laundry.
