Welcoming and accommodating staff coupled with a clean room and a great view made our stay perfect. The free bus passes made hanging out downtown easy and convenient too. I will definitely stay again!
Stayed for one night and wished I spent the entire weekend. Our room was fantastic, the restaurant (The Prow Food & Drink) served delicious food and drinks and the customer service provided was top notch👌
I had an amazing time on my stay here. Walking distance to beautiful scenery, not at all far to downtown Banff, and stacked with some great amenities. It was particularly quaint during the winter months, and the heated floors and fireplace gave the stay such a warmth that it was impossible not to be comfortable.
