Very good motel. It seemed like it may have been recently refurbished. It is not self service check in but you check in at the sister hotel just across the road which was efficient and easy. Friendly staff. You can also use the facilities at the sister hotel. Bus stop right outside if you don't want the walk in town. Very pleasant and easy stay.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Loved the quaint old time vibe of the motel in the woods and off the main street, but with all the amenities offered by The Canoe just across the street. The roof top hot pools and the view were absolutely incredible, Sudden Sally was delicious (and the happy hour deal phenomenal) and loved the size of the rooms and the bath soaps & shampoos!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Dog-friendly; provided bed, dog bowl, poop bags, and even a toy! Had to go across the street to Hotel Canoe for any questions but not that big of a deal. About 25 min walk to downtown Banff which was fine. Would recommend!

Very nice hotel - the closeness to Hotel Canoe (for the hot pools and lobby/restaurant) was great, and the rooms were perfect for a family of 4 (kids under 10). The craft coffee to make pour-overs every morning was an awesome addition!
