The good:
The room itself was nice and the bed was comfortable.
Having a kitchen in the room is always nice.
The view from the bedroom window was gorgeous!
Rocky Mountain Bagel is 20 steps away.
The not so good:
I was travelling with my dogs and booked a dog friendly room, the problem was that the room assigned to me was at the end and there was a lot of noisy foot traffic because of that. My dogs are quiet, but it's only natural for them to alert when they hear people outside the window constantly. Perhaps the "dog friendly" rooms should be in the middle so that there isn't as much traffic.
The train tracks are on the other side of the small parking lot, and when the train goes by, it is SO loud. Judging by the cannister of earplugs in the bathroom, I am not the first person to have found this to be an issue.
There was a persistent knocking/clicking noise coming from the furnace ducts as well.
I had been travelling for over a week, so I had quite a bit of luggage. The parking spot that was assigned to my room was on the opposite side of the property, and there was nowhere to park near my room when I was checking in and out... it was a process.
Last, but not least, the coffee was horrible, and after a night of trying to keep the dogs quiet, I needed the it. Thank Heavens Rocky Mountain Bagel is so close.
Ultimately, with the number of great hotels in Canmore, I likely wouldn't stay at this one again.
