“What I found most appealing about Otter Hotel is its balance of mountain access and practical comforts, including free parking and a reliable shuttle. I especially appreciate the rooftop hot tubs, which offer a unique vantage point on Cascade Mountain - a real highlight after a day exploring Banff. It strikes me as a solid choice for travelers who value convenience without sacrificing views.”
