Stayed for two nights. First night was so loud due to someone above stomping at 4am. Talked to the front desk to see if they could help. They were great. The second night slept like a baby. Nice staff. Yummy treats. Good water fountain for large camelbacks.

Our private room was nice , washrooms down the hall. Bathroom doors were a little worn maybe some upgrades? Kitchen was a little tight for space, but dining area was adequate. Nice to have food options available. Sitting outside was lovely, not much open seats for guests in lobby area.

No place is perfect.....
CAD$100 for a bunkbed is expensive; on the other hand, compared to other accommodation in Banff, it is a good deal because Banff on a busy long weekend is an expensive place. The facilities are very good but I kept hitting my head on the upper bunk when I crawled in and out of the lower bunk but I soon got "trained" LOL!
