Great property and nicely appointed rooms. Initial check-in is at the Canoe Hotel which is across the street. They have daily coffee and tea supply delivery and a pour over coffee maker in the room. The beauty of it is that you have full access to the Canoe Hotel's emenities. Hotel is a short walk down Banff Ave into town. Definitely would stay here again when visiting the area.

Instructions on how to operate heating/fan, perhaps alongside the wall thermometer, would help to permit optimal use. Thank you for the great hospitality!

The property was quiet. More or less clean. Renovated rooms, had a gap under the door that was letting cold air in. Nothing a towel didn't fix! Great price.
