Enjoyed our stay here. One complaint is that their underground parking facility is no good for trucks, max height is 6’1. This means you must find your own parking off property. They do not compensate for your out of pocket overnight parking and they do not provide you with a street parking permit as most of the streets surrounding this property require a permit to park. The street parking beside the property is limited to 15 minutes so this was not helpful either. Also the rooms run hot with no air, resorted to opening the window in minus 25c and since the hotel is right in the heart of Banff the noise level was quite high all throughout the night. Otherwise hotel has a great location, clean, friendly staff and a good earth attached to the hotel was a bonus.

Enjoyed the coffee in the room and the staff were nice about giving us extra pods and creamer. If you have a taller vehicle it won’t fit in the garage and there is limited surface parking.

There was lots of seating space in the lobby area. Our loft room second floor was extremely noisy and very warm. Our AC unit didn't work at alll. But otherwise no issues

As a family of four with two teenagers, we had a great two week stay at the Elk and Avenue. Staff were helpful. Parking in Banff can be a nightmare. Our vehicle was over the 6' 1" allowance for the hotel car park but we were offered alternative parking at the back of the hotel at a great rate. Easy walking distance to shops, restaurants etc. Great looking hotel with areas to sit and just chill if needed. Room service was good, no matter what time you left the room. Nice hot tub and sauna. Only downside was the work being done in the lobby rest rooms and interruptions to water. This shouldn't affect people staying in the future though. Highly recommend staying here. Thanks Elk and Avenue.
