“I noted that while some rooms are dated, renovated bathrooms and mountain views from creekside rooms are definite highlights. The location is ideal, just steps from the main pedestrian street, though some previous guests experienced noise issues that management should address. For a moderately priced stay in Canmore, it holds appeal, but be sure to confirm the status of on-site amenities beforehand.”
