Thanks for reviewing your recent stay with us Ada. Our hotel does not have a restaurant onsite, but there are many within a short walking distance. Our front desk team are always willing to help with recommendations.

A great hotel in Canmore for families, especially if visiting Banff. Clean spacious rooms, a well done complimentary breakfast buffet, and the best part, the fastest waterslide around. Pool is warm and the hot tub is big. We are return guests and highly recommend it.

Very family and pet friendly hotel. The rooms were large and very comfortable. We had a fireplace and a porch so we could enjoy the cool mornings and scenery. The breakfast room is on the smaller side so each morning we were here we had to wait for a table. Convenient to Banff and a great value.

I had two rooms booked for one night. And at midnight the toilet in one room maid a god awful sound waking us up . And there was foam bubbling out of the toilet. The fron desk was unable to assist due to there being no maitance on site and they where fully booked. Then at 7am the other room toilet overflowed while they where sleeping.

We prepaid and stayed 8 days. The right side of the building to get around needs mirrors as people drive from both sides can’t see people coming. We had to wait and back up 3x. So we took another route after. Parking is full every night with only one handicap on the back :( Our room lamp wasn’t working maintenance came and let us know it’s broken and wanted to replace and hotel told him no and nothing was done the whole stay. We didn’t pay the price we did for half a room lit and all the problems. So disappointing. The air conditioner was extremely loud but we needed it. The toilet ran everytime you flushed it. Cleaning staff oh my gosh when they cleaned the room beside us they banged against the wall and literally shook our bed it was insane. It woke my kids and I up frightening us. The floors weren’t cleaned. One day they didn’t do my kids beds only ours which was very odd and annoying. The beds are not comfortable and the pillows are the flattest smallest worst pillows we’ve ever used. Only 3 per bed which is strange as most have 4. No bedding or pillows for the pullout couch either. Room size was nice but could’ve been cleaner. The dust buildup on the nightstand between the bed on everything was disgusting. Pool was nice for the kids the chlorine is extremely strong. Breakfast okay. Cookies yummy! Staff meh didn’t deal with anything or comp. Realize stayed when it was Best Western and cleaners left our door open when we were out. The staff didn’t care like this stay.

Hot tub was nice and hot. The water slide was very exciting the sauna actually worked! Breakfast was pretty good with some real food like plain yogurt and oats. The breakfast room staff was very knowledgeable about which foods were gluten free and even made me gluten free toast in a separate toaster! The beds were comfy and the mountain view was great once the clouds cleared. The only thing I would change is replace the old bike in the fitness room with the supremely uncomfortable seat and pedals with rusted buckles for the toe clips with a recumbent bike.

I had requested an early check in and we were able to get our room by 1pm. The pool was absolutely amazing. My kids loved the slide. The free cookies in the evening were also welcome. Breakfast was pretty wholesome. They even had gluten and dairy free options. The staff was very friendly and courteous. The only draw back was that the wifi wasnt the best. Also if they add a fresh egg/omlete station that would be even better. We will definitely be coming back!
