Hotel is self check in but works out ok. Good parking under room, plus a garage shop and nice restaurant (Sudden Sally) nearby. Room was comfortable and had everything needed for short stay. Hotel is walkable from Banff centre with public bus option.

Exception and Great Value!
Excellent stay! The Dorothy is affiliated with the Caribou Hotel. We were able to check-in quickly efficiently. The rooms are lovely. The bed is comfortable, and it is quiet. We were provided bus passes for the duration of our trip, which made getting around Banff easy. We were able to do laundry at the Caribou for 6 Canadian dollars. We would gladly stay here again. We loved it!

Auto-Checkin Hotel was Better Than Expected
The room was great--really liked the bed comfort, bathroom w/ floor radiant heat, and under bed lighting! The only negative was the room didn't have blackout curtains--a bit too much light for great sleep.

Disappointed to find the floor not clean, the hotel looking different to the online image and most concerning a $10 'balancing charge' on checkout and a delay return g my deposit. The image of the hotel turns out to be the inside courtyard so no good for identifying it on arrival.

10/10 Exceptional

Rooms are comfortable and absolutely adorable with the forest-floor design on the floors. We really enjoyed our stay. Nice coffee bar (but coffee whitener, no creamer). About a mile from the heart of Banff where most restaurants are, so walkable. We did not go to the sister hotel for a hot tub and it was all self check-in so we did not see other staff or guests.

6/10 Good

Overall a pretty nice motel. Loved the lighting and cleanliness, perfect. However, it was missing some essential things for the washroom (no conditioner), no slippers, and lack of services available. Location was a little isolating without any help- having to check-in and out from another hotel location was a hassle. Otherwise, it was pretty decent. Not sure if the price was reasonable though, could probably find a cheaper place.
