No Frills, Walk to Town
No frills hotel option walking distance from downtown Banff. Negatives: creaky spring mattresses, loud A/C and street noise, old TV, first floor smelled like smoke, no elevator to parking garage. Positives: Saved hundreds of dollars compared to the big lodges, big free parking garage good shower and soaps, nice chair, Keurig/K-cups, big room. Overall worth it for an overnight or short stay from Calgary but I wouldn't book for your honeymoon here.

The outrageously high price for the room did not at all correspond to the low quality of the hotel or the room itself. This is an old building that has not been updated in a number of years. The floor creaked, there was the smell of cigarette smoke in the hallway, wallpaper was peeling, etc, etc

For the cost of the rooms per night this property is way below par. Our air conditioner made noise all night a loud rattling noise which wound up being a severely full filter. They don’t lock down the outside doors at night and one of the doors on the 2nd floor coming up from the stairs doesn’t even have a lock. The housekeepers yell down the hall talking to each other during the day and the walls are paper thin. I would NEVER stay in this facility again. I told the people at the front desk when I checked out this am but they didn’t care at all no I’m sorry for the inconvenience or anything.

I was disappointed in the property. They did allow us to park our car in the morning then we checked into our room an hour early. The hotel is very dated and a bit off kilter. The floors slop, room doors are all over the place. We entered our room on a warm Fall day to find the heat going full blast. We tried to turn it off and turn on the AC. Nothing worked. We called maintenance and they couldn’t figure anything out so they unplugged everything and brought in a mobile AC machine the size of a large suitcase. It had to have a large tube go out the window so we used all our towels to cover the opening so bugs wouldn’t get in. A few hours later we returned and the room temp was good. My daughter wanted to take a shower and within a minute, the bathtub was not draining and the water was up around her ankles. Again we called maintenance and the same man came and repeatedly plunged the tub and finally had to put chemicals down to clear the clog. He came back an hour later and ran the water and said we were good. Add to that, an empty conditioner container and no cleaning service the three nights we stayed. I was disappointed as the hotel had good ratings and I was paying over 400 a night. I expect better! Was this room not used previously that the cleaning service didn’t know the bathtub didn’t drain? Why didn’t anyone try to fix the AC/heat issue while we were out of the room.

Overall enjoyed it
We really liked our stay. Don’t really need to use the room much though but the layout worked really well for us. We were lucky enough to stay on the top floor and enjoyed our view. Wish the parkade was a bit taller and that we didn’t have to check in at Irwin’s first.
