Nice hotel. Close enough to the rest of downtown to get access to the buses or garden, but far enough so you can have a nice walk after dinner.

Excellent stay
My stay was great. Although I do wish at check in the front desk could have mentioned the ticket availability at the hotel for gondola and ice walk. No one was behind me so there was no rush. I also thought that my room didn’t have a smart TV, just apps. Maybe it was a smart TV and I didn’t check good. Found the blankets a little sparse and not too soft. The TV in the fitness room is not working. And the safety clip on the treadmill is broken. The restaurant The Evergreen was amazing! Meals beat our other higher end meal at the Waldhaus by a mile. Excellent food. Pool is clean and beautiful. Definitely stay here regularly and enjoy.

A nice stay in Banff
Clean, comfortable and spacious room—we had a junior suite. Nice amenities and loved the gas fireplace. The pool and hot tub area were nice, though not very large.
In general the decor is showing its age, but is well maintained.

Man at front desk spoke in a whisper, did not smile nor welcome us. Just that initial impression gave us a bad start to our weekend. Mattress need to be flipped over. Due to sheets being old and real "slippery" and mattress being well worn so that when I went to get into bed I slid off the mattress.
