Staff was great. The food and entertainment was great. Lots of ice In the parking lot. But not much they could do about that. Perfect location , close to everything.
The parking was easy enough but the lot had some flooding issues. I also couldn't park by the tree due to the wind blowing branches and debris onto the car. The staff was very friendly and helpful, the room was clean and comfortable, and the mountain views were spectacular!
This was an amazing stay for the money. You get what you pay for. You can't expect a 5 star resort when you pay 2 star motel prices. The beds were comfortable and clean. The washroom was dated, but clean. With the fridge and coffee maker, we saved a lot on meals. There was no microwave, but there was one in the office that we could use. The location was great - one block from the downtown core. The staff was very kind. The secure parking was right at the bottom of the stairs.

Location is excellent. Room was clean & functional. Views were amazing!
great location, super close to everything. Right beside the Drake pub which is a great spot for food and drinks. rooms are spacious, recommend it. Super close to everything.
Staff as always were super friendly and accommodating. The room was clean, and well maintained. Best value in Canmore by a mile, only bummer was the pub was closed!
Incredible view, easy check-in experience, and very nice rooms.
My only note is that there needs to be a longer runner carpet for getting in the door and taking shoes off. It was a wet weekend, and our floor got pretty messy.
