The hotel offers a mix of positives with a cozy atmosphere and great amenities but falls short with unfriendly night shift service and expensive dining options. The central location provides easy access to everything in Banff, but some may find it pricey.
The hotel is in a prime location, enjoying stunning views of the Glazier covered mountains while being situated right in the heart of Banff. The rooms are impeccably clean, newly updated, and offer a comfortable stay with three queen beds. However, the dining options come at a higher rate, and Wi-Fi is not included in the package.

The rooms are cozy, some with a charming fireplace and jacuzzi, and a lovely carpeted outside balcony. However, the night shift service could be friendlier, especially at a last-minute request. The dining is included but for an expensive rate, while the facilities are well-equipped offering dry cleaning, housekeeping, laundry, ski pass vendor, and pet amenities.
