“This inn prioritizes location in Banff, putting guests within easy reach of shops and restaurants. I think that while some may find the interiors a bit dated, its family-friendly suites-some offering separate bedrooms-and the unique cedar sauna stand out. On-site dining at El Toro, with its steak, seafood, and Greek options, adds to the convenience.”

helpful staffcomplimentary bus passeseasy parkingdank basementearly hot tubsmall vehicle
The staff was HELPFUL. The hotel offered complimentary bus passes, that was useful. I found the parking easy to manage. It made coming and going SIMPLE.
The gym was not what i expected. It was in a dank basement area. The hot tub closed early at 9 pm. The parkade only accommodated small vehicles, which posed A problem for me.
