Verdict is still out
We are still staying there right now, but we had a horrible smell in our bedroom and we are switching rooms after our first night… Also the pillows smell like dirty hair and the comforters are not thick enough so we were cold last night no matter how high we turn up the heat

Just ok hotel, expected better for the price. Smallish room. Super dark inside room; all bulbs were very low wattage so room always was very dim and gloomy. At least bathroom was well lite and clean. Very noisy AC/heater. Would not recommend staying here.

The Hotel is very conveniently located to all the shopping, restaurants, groceries and transportation. The staff were very friendly and helpful However, the property is somewhat dated, the room lighting was poor and it was very dark in the room. Also, the bathroom is somewhat small and the vanity in the bathroom definitely needs replacing. See picture below.

The Ptarmigan Inn is in a great location in Banff and it is great having easy onsite parking. The bed was firm and comfortable but the bathroom was quite small and we did hear people talking loudly in the hallways at 3:00am. One more benefit was excellent food at their restaurant.

To share an opinion about this property is irrelevant, they don't care about the type of client I represent. The revenue stream of this hotel comes from bus organized tour. The price of this hotel versus what you get can be define as not a good value in comparison with other location near by that we checked out. The hotel is dated and you feel that the management of the hotel is stopping short in their effort to at least maintain it or at least spruce it up a bit. The underground parking is the main good aspect of that hotel.

I didn’t like that in the elevator, you could access off floors, not just your own floor! Everything else about the stay Was as I had hoped and better ! The staff were really attentive and friendly. I only used Hon the restaurant once and it was Very good. It was great to have complementary pass for the buses. The location is great as I was doing a solo trip and I liked having easy access to the strip of Banff Avenue.
