Great location not too far from town with a bus stop nearby and plenty of parking if you have a car. It was extremely clean and comfortable, best of all is was value for money.

Hotel is self check in but works out ok. Good parking under room, plus a garage shop and nice restaurant (Sudden Sally) nearby. Room was comfortable and had everything needed for short stay. Hotel is walkable from Banff centre with public bus option.

Exception and Great Value!
Excellent stay! The Dorothy is affiliated with the Caribou Hotel. We were able to check-in quickly efficiently. The rooms are lovely. The bed is comfortable, and it is quiet. We were provided bus passes for the duration of our trip, which made getting around Banff easy. We were able to do laundry at the Caribou for 6 Canadian dollars. We would gladly stay here again. We loved it!

Auto-Checkin Hotel was Better Than Expected
The room was great--really liked the bed comfort, bathroom w/ floor radiant heat, and under bed lighting! The only negative was the room didn't have blackout curtains--a bit too much light for great sleep.

Canada 2024
Disappointed to find the floor not clean, the hotel looking different to the online image and most concerning a $10 'balancing charge' on checkout and a delay return g my deposit. The image of the hotel turns out to be the inside courtyard so no good for identifying it on arrival.

Comfortable stay. Short walk into town centre or can take free shuttle bus. Parking was free and pretty easy at the property. Also can use pool facilities at the sister Caribou hotel which is very nice. Would be happy to stay here again.

4/10 Fair

Spacious room but found some hair in bed and on some pillows in both beds. Dingy pillow cases. Inconvenient to check in (had to go to another hotel just to check in) especially when we arrived late in dark. For some reason, the room key didn’t work the next day but one of the housekeepers opened the room for us. Called the front office to ask for assistance with the room key but the staff never bothered to knock on the door to check. After waiting an hour, I called the front desk and was told that the staff returned to the other hotel because we were not standing outside. Since we were planning to check out next day, we just stayed in our room. I did not want to wait for the staff to return.

The Dorothy was a great place for our stay in Banff. Rooms are clean if a little tight for four adults sharing, bathroom was nice and modern. The courtyard was a lovely spot to enjoy a rest after a day exploring. The only issue was the check in process with the app was a little confusing and slow at first but is pretty straight forward once you’ve got the hang of it.

The Dorothy was spacious, clean comfortable and the rare hotel with lots of lighting. The staff was wonderful, offering free transit passes that we used everyday. Great location. The restaurants were a short walk and we could take a free bus to shops. Brand is incredible with breath taking beauty. The mountains are so closed.
