I recently stayed at this hotel in Banff, and while it had its highlights, there were a few areas that could use improvement. First, the positives: the room was clean and well-maintained, with a modern interior that made for a comfortable stay. For those on a budget, it offers one of the most affordable rates in Banff, which is a huge plus given the area's pricing. I also appreciated being able to use the amenities at the sister property, Hotel Canoe & Suites. Additionally, the bath products provided were from Rocky Mountain Soap, which added a nice touch of luxury to the stay. On the downside, the check-in process was a bit of a hassle. I received an email with instructions to use an app for mobile check-in and key access, but the app didn’t always work, which caused some frustration. Another downside is the hotel's location. It is a bit farther from the town center than I had anticipated, so walking to restaurants or shops wasn’t as convenient as I would have liked. Overall, while the hotel offers good value for the price and the amenities are solid, the check-in issues and distance from town are things to consider when planning your stay.

Well priced extra clean property, 100m from gas and convenience store. Everything works and is newish. You have to register at canoe hotel so one star off for service but on balance it is excellent with very reasonable price.

A great option for something a little less fancy than its lodge neighbours but still clean, quiet, and cute.

Room was decent and competitively priced. Room was icy cold on arrival. HVAC was noisy but effective. Hard floors took forever to warm up. Shower has limited water pressure and facilities was sent but not much changed. A more suitable shower head than a small rainfall head might make a difference. Expected more given the price a And affiliation with canoe
