Great stay.
Everything about the stay was wonderful! Our room was clean, quiet, comfortable and newly renovated. The only downside was the clearance height required to enter the parking lot, considering the truck we brought was significantly higher than a normal car.

Exceptional Stay at Dorothy Motel
I had an exceptional experienced at the Dorothy Motel! The room was spotless, the bed was incredibly comfortable, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure my stay was perfect. The location was peaceful yet close to everything I needed. I loved the cozy outdoor area, and the hot pool—such a nice touch! I’ll definitely stay here again. Highly recommended! 👌

Quick stay in Banff
Stayed for one night while skiing in banff. Have stayed before at sister hotel, Banff Canoe and Suites and enjoyed it - so figured why not?! No frills motel that was clean, modern, and quiet for a Saturday night. Check in was at sister hotel (not convenient but for price point I wasn’t fussed). Check-in was pleasant and smooth. Parking was ample. Modern amenities such as underbed lighting, comfy beds, soft towels and small fridge in room. Flooring was odd (like a camouflage tile 😬) but it’s a floor and it was clean.
Darren, 1-night trip

The staff at the front desk of the Caribou were very accommodating and helpful when we called for assistance. We had a very enjoyable stay and really liked the Dorothy Motel venue, the amply free parking around there and the convenient and delicious dining places nearby.

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.
