Gone downhill

Stayed here few years ago great place to be. Had to check out day early for an emergency at work. they refused to give me any money back for the extra night I did not even stay at hotel when we were out of there before check out time. Sad to see some of these nicer hotels get ruined by horrible management and terrible customer service. Will not be coming back here

The room was very spacious and clean, fireplace was a nice bonus. The hot tub and pool area was amazing. We loved that it has room service - and the food on site was tasty and well priced. We come to Banff a lot and have found a gem with this hotel. Can’t wait to be back.
