Wonderful and helpful staff and...

Liked: The staff here are amazing. I was having problems rearranging flights and also worrying about the situation during the Air Canada strike. The staff, on a moments notice, were able to arrange for me to have free shuttles to and from the airport. I went a number of times to talk with the Air Canada workers at the airport. The staff and the shuttle drivers were amazingly accommodating. This was my major standout feature of this trip, the helpfulness of the staff.Along with that, the room was extremely quiet. I really try to focus on having a quiet hotel room and this one did not disappoint at all. I slept extremely well. In fact one of the reasons I chose this hotel is because I saw that customers staying in hotels in the city complained about noise issues so I decided to stay slightly outside the city. Having said that, it was quite cheap and quick to get Uber rides into the city centre in order to go on a Banff Park tour and on a walking tour. The food in the lounge and in the restaurant at breakfast are also quite good, with some nice options. The staff there are friendly and lovely.
Disliked: When originally at the airport waiting for my first shuttle pick up, I realised you have to be careful that a driver from another Holiday Inn does not come and pick you up. There are about 4 Holiday Inns around the area. A driver from another Holiday Inn originally picked me up and didn't alert me to this fact. Fortunately I got back in time to the airport to get the right shuttle. That other driver was happy to bring me back to the airport in fairness to him, and the airport was close. Be careful of this and know your exact address.

Disliked: Restaurant was not open on Sunday night. Staff at check-in didn’t tell us that the airport shuttle was not starting until an hour and a half after we returned our rental car. We were under the impression that it was running 24/7.

It was excellent so far

Disliked: Coffe makers

Family Visit.

Liked: The room was comfortable and clean. The restaurant staff were so accommodating (we were traveling with littles), and the food was amazing! Gest services were very friendly and helpful.
Disliked: They are upgrading the elevators, which meant only one was in service, and it was slow and not reliable (It arrived on our floor, the door opened and then immediately closed). We ended up taking the stairs to and from the 4th floor most of our visit.
