Hotel Services

The hotel staff, including Front of House and managerial teams, are available 24/7 to share their know-how on what to see and do. A subtle lodge-like vibe is displayed through several wooden elements, like the polished tree stump coffee tables and large wooden check-in desk in the lobby, and nature pictures.

“What stands out here is a commitment to both comfort and community, demonstrated by the lodge-style design and inviting outdoor spaces. I appreciate the thoughtful touches like pet-friendly amenities and locally-sourced options at the café, which elevate the experience beyond the typical Banff stay. Its location offers a sweet spot between convenience and access to the area's natural attractions.”

totally awesome family stay!

the coffee shop had high-quality breakfast food. my family really enjoyed our stay. the bedroom setup was perfect for our two young kids. they each had their own space. plus, we walked easily to the main strip for fun.
the room we had was smaller than i thought it would be. it was still good, but just a bit tight.

The breakfast had good options. I liked the fresh fruit selection (strawberries were delicious!). The outdoor hot tub provided great relaxation after a day of hiking. The fireplace next to it added a cozy touch.
The hallway lighting was quite bright at night and it seeped under the door.

the breakfast included had variety, i guess.
the room was super tiny, it felt cramped. flushing the toilet upstairs made a huge sound in my room, like a waterfall nearby. also, i thought the hotel was too pricey, a major bummer.
