"This hotel is located right as you enter Banff, so it’s not directly in the centre of town, but we still found the location really nice. In the summer, it was about a beautiful 20-minute walk into the main town area, which we actually enjoyed. The hotel itself is really beautiful. The rooms are modern, very clean, and comfortable, and the staff were always friendly and welcoming. The bakery downstairs was definitely a highlight — wow! The pastries were amazing, and it was perfect for grabbing something quickly before heading out for our tours. The breakfast at the hotel was just okay in my opinion. Banff has so many lovely breakfast options throughout town, so I would definitely recommend trying some of those as well. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful hotel, modern rooms, great staff, and a lovely location. I would definitely stay here again"

"Location is great When I think of a resort, I think that the accommodation would have some luxury to the room as well as the grounds would have some landscaping and gardens, complementing the property. This hotel has neither. They could also use some sound deadening between rooms, you can hear above you and beside you. The employees are very friendly. The room was clean and the linens were nice, just nothing extra. For nearly $500 per night, I expected more."
