A family oriented hotel. We are a family of five and appreciate the space to have a kitchen and living area. This hotel is affordable. A bit outdated, but if that makes it affordable I don't mind. Unfortunately the regular pool is closed since COVID and never reopened (the pool is not really advertised so that is fair), and during this stay the maintenance of the waterpark got extended which resulted in being closed as well. It was a disappointment for our kids, but we received a discount as compensation. We still enjoyed the outdoor hot tub and indoor play zone.

It’s a solid 3 star property. You can’t expect 5 star for 3 star prices. We had some trouble with mix ups at check in, the water slides closed which we weren’t told until the night before, and the hot tub was kept at only 90 degrees. But, when maintenance was called they came right away, we were discounted because of the water park being closed, and the hotel provided bus passes which I didn’t think I’d use since we had a car, but there was absolutely not one parking spot in Banff so the bus came in handy.

Rustic and clean. The water park was closed, but they were great about communicating and also refunded due to the unexpected closure. The hot tub outside was still cool.....but functional. Regardless, we will still be back.....amazing time and memorable

This is a budget property for families that is in need of refurbishment. Although clean, the decor was worn, windows didn't open or close properly and the celings as walls were stained from years of use. The waterpark and indoor hot tub were closed unexpectedly during our stay and the outdoor hot tub was lukewarm at best. We were also charged an extra person fee for our 17 year old even though the unit slept 6 and there were only three of us. Felt like we were being nickel and dimed, with no compensation for the unavailable amenities. After booking regularly at this property for over 25 years, we will be booking elsewhere in the future.

By far the best hotel we ever stayed in .. We went for the mountains but loved coming home (back to the hotel) I wish we could have seen the mountains more from our room but it’s the room we chose I think . Absolutely love the outdoor hot tub and the view of the mountain .. my fiance enjoyed the water slides haha so that was a plus ! Going on vacation and trying to save money and not eat out this was def a must to have a kitchen and we loved it ! We brought our own pans and plates and etc but when we opened the cabinets they provide you with everything you need ! It was a beautiful getaway room :) the parking garage was a nice touch (I think it was heated to which was nice cause it kept our car out of the cold weather ) we love visiting banff and 100 percent will be back to this hotel as we fell in love with our new favorite place

Very good for the budget conscious. Staff extremely responsive. Security could be better - there were no incidents, but there is no lock on outside doors to the buildings. Anyone could come in from the outside to the corridors. These units are a bit worn and dated (carpets, furniture etc.) but overall very good value for the price for those who are there to enjoy the outdoors. The working fireplace and stacked wood a nice touch.

The person checking us in was not very friendly… almost eye rolling a couple of times when I didn’t understand what she was saying. Very upsetting.

We had the room with a pullout couch, which had springs poking out from everywhere. The hotel itself was very dated , our room had staining on the walls, missing cabinet doors and was overall really run down. I would not pay the premium that seems to be the going rate and would look elsewhere next time I stay in Banff .

We stay here for two days with family and young children. The hotel price is affordable and enough amenities for a short stay. Our children like the pool, outdoor hot tub and indoor playground. We travel with our truck so it is convenient to drive 5-10 minutes to Banff downtown for nicer restaurants !
