Good location

Liked: Location
Disliked: There was nothing spectacular, rooms could have been bigger, some chairs/table in each room would be nice, there were no elevators from parking and was very inconvenient to take all luggage through stairs in multiple rounds for our group. Since we stayed for overnight only, we just got our PJs to the room but this was super inconvenient as we had to make multiple trips to underground parking. There were no amenities but since we stayed overnight it didn’t impact us too much.

Overall, it’s a great place...

Liked: The location is perfect — right in the heart of downtown Banff, so it was easy to walk around and explore. The staff were friendly and accommodating. When they found out it was our anniversary, they gave us a bigger room with a jacuzzi at no extra cost, and even prepared a bottle of wine for us. It made our stay feel really special and thoughtful!
Disliked: The only downside was the parking — there wasn’t enough parking space around the hotel area, so it was a bit inconvenient.

Superb

okay stay

Liked: - big room - friendly staff
Disliked: - very expensive but banff was fully booked by that time - quite old and outdated hotel- gym could be a bit better equipped and cleaner- hot tub was also not 100% clean

Good

More of a motel, impersonal

Liked: The location was good, a short walk down Banff Avenue to shops and restaurants
Disliked: More of a motel than a hotel. There was no lobby and guests were requested to go to the Irwin Hotel next door I order to check in. This was not great if you needed anything as it meant walking across to the Irwin if you had any issues, whilst there was a 24 hour desk at the Irwin,this would not have been practical at night n the rain. 24 Whilst I was served by a very professional lady at the Irwin, the other staff were unprofessional and messing around. The team there also seemed to be struggling with the door system at the inn, with room cards not allowing access. The doors to the inn were therefore left open 24/7 which is not great for security, especially as there are no staff onsite. The room was adequate and clean, with no frills and the carpet looked like it could so with a professional clean The beds were a little to soft for our liking, but I realise this is down to personal preference. There was no wardrobe and just 2 coat hooks on which to hang your clothes. There was a restaurant at the Irwin next door but nothing at the Inn. I understand that Banff can be pricey but the room was not what I expected for the price.

Good

Liked: The location was good. Nice view of the mountains.The room was spacious enough for 3 persons.
Disliked: Would have been nice of a small breakfast, even bread and coffee would have been helpful when staying in Banff as people will leave early to visit around.
