"Free Roam passes with the bus stop right outside the hotel was very convenient."
"The location is a perfect base for exploring Banff area."
"A local bus stops outside the Inn and hotel staff will give you a free bus pass when registering."
“The location is a clear advantage, placing guests within easy reach of downtown Banff and ski resort transportation. Rooms are well-maintained, and the inclusion of ski lockers adds practical value, particularly given its attractive price point. While showing some age, the property emphasizes comfort and convenience, especially suited to those seeking outdoor activities.”

Excellent Location and Helpful Staff
unique setupking bedfree busample parking
I stayed in a split room. The room had a King and a Queen bed. It was a unique setup that offered more room. It also gave more privacy when one does not want to get two separate rooms. The location is a perfect base for exploring the surrounding area. The free bus pass was also great. I also found parking available for my entire stay.
I did notice the need for more light in my room during the evening. This was the only thing I would have liked more of .
