Main house was beautiful and the staff were so helpful great—best part of the stay. The rooms are a bit old/not luxurious but bathroom was clean and sizeable. Loved having the kitchenette. And they also allowed us to request a mini fridge which was awesome! Less than 10 min drive or bus ride to downtown.

It was my bday weekend with my partner. I really enjoyed the whole place. Our room has rustic romantic ambience, the hot pool is perfect after a day exploring downtown Banff. The best of all is the wood burning fire place - while feeling the breeze of coldness! It was a perfect romantic celebration of my bday.

Hotel is a beautiful spot. Bath tubs, shower heads etc are a little old and dirty at this point, covered in hard water and could use a deep scrub.
