The hotel was perfectly nestled in the heart of Banff. Indoor parking included. The Farm and Fire restaurant in the hotel is delicious for dinner as well as breakfast. Room was beautiful with gogeous views of the mountains. Grocery and pharmacy across the street and walking distance to pretty much everything around. Amazing experience even though hot tub was closed for construction. Staff was curteous and very helpful.

At night, the noise from the air conditioning unit or the mechanical room was very loud. It was noticeable, and I found earplugs provided in the room, which suggests that the noise might be a known issue

Banff 2- nights
We feel king room was assigned because of using third party. Other king rooms on end were much larger. Room was small and a poor layout with a column in space and medium size tv too long for wall it was on. Bathroom was clean and decent size and newer tile.
Small room, tv too big and column in space with cheap prefab armoire.
Other side room was well arranged and updated but tight walking around bed.

Convenient location and nice service
Staff are very nice and helpful. Location is super convenient. It is just across street from the public transportation to the Gondola that you can use your Gondola booking ticket to ride free there. And there are some other routes as well. Many shopping and restaurants around the hotel. Its parking facility is the best for customers. Will stay again when visit back.

I really wanted to love my stay at the Elk Avenue and for the most part, it was wonderful with the exception of our room. Parking was easy, the staff was very helpful throughout check in and even printed our park pass out for us and delivered it to our room. The issue we had was with the air conditioner in our room. It was broken upon arrival, we were not notified as it seems they had found a fix. The solution to this was apparently to put a portable AC in our room which vented out the window. The issue is that in order to vent out the window, the window had to be open the entire time. The open portion was covered with clear plastic and foil taped in place. Our room did back up to some kind of machinery and a wall but I was still pretty hesitant to both stay and leave my belongings in the room. The hotel was booked throughout our stay so changing wasn’t an option.

There has to be better options
Room’s AC was broken in the heat of summer, they didn’t offer daily room cleaning unless you asked for it which makes no sense, the room itself was old and clearly hadn’t been touched up in a while. I get Banff is expensive to stay in but this was quite poor. The staff were friendly, but it should have been better.
