Hotel was clean, beds were comfortable, price was good and it was close to downtown canmore to walk for breakfast and dinners. Only complaint was parking at night on weekends with the bar being busy. We had to park across the street on private property as we could not get a space in parking lot.

Was a bit concerned by the outside look of the hotel, but it turned out to be a very comfortable stay. Big king bed, renovated bathroom, and one of the most amazing views I've had from any hotel room, with a full view of the mountains. Yes, you could hear the band at night - as they warned - but it was far from loud, and we had no trouble sleeping through it. Perfect location right at the entrance to the main pedestrian street, alongside Policemen's Creek. Highly recommended - wish we hadn't moved on to Banff.

Central location, nice view. Friendly staff. Room was a third storey walk up. Difficult to carry up luggage. Attached pub/bar that had live band playing from 10pm to 2am on the Friday and Saturday night that we stayed. Very loud, not good for light sleepers or families with young children.

It is what it is, it would be a great value at 100$ but at 250$ not so much. I get it's very touristy, but this is way overpriced for what it offers. And the pub attached to the Inn is overrated. Bad food, worse service from the one waiter. All a disappointment.

Always a picture is mountain view window. The room was extremely clean. This was not a high-end hotel, but sure was worth the stay. It has all you need, no frills required!! The attached restaurant has fantastic, delicious food and beverage And “Tayla was our awesome waitress! I would definitely stay again.

Location has always been the attraction but never again. No lock on patio door just an old hockey stick to keep closed. Parking is a nightmare. Building is falling apart and no upkeep being done. Very dismal, and run down.
