Excellent value for money in a great location- 5 minutes walk to Banff Avenue and all the bars, restaurants and shops. The decor is a little dated but the hotel and our room were clean and we found our stay to be very comfortable. Staff were always friendly and helpful and secure parking was available. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend.

Enjoyed the quiet location and clean room. Staff was helpful and accommodating. The motel is dated but very well maintained. There is construction going on across the street, but it didn't bother us. We did have to walk a bit for the ski shuttle, but it was ok. We would stay again.

Was the perfect place to stay while in Banff. Location was great, walk to all the shops and restaurants, right in the river with views of the mountains. Guests also receive discounted Ski Big 3 lift tickets which was a great surprise. 10/10 would stay again.
