My go to... past, present and future

This is a staple of any trip to or through Banff for us. We don't bother looking for others. Yes, this place has aged over the years but they try to keep it modernized as best as they can. It's always clean, always kept up and, along with its neighboring hotel, always competitively priced. From there, restaurants, convenience stores, grocery store, hospital and even Tim Hortons are within a short walking distance.

Clean and friendly, good value for money. It's a short half-block walk to the ski and airport shuttle stops, but the savings were worth it.
