Affordable and central in Banff
The hotel is centrally located on Banff ave making it convenient to walk to all the shops and restaurants. The room are old and the hotel is showing her age but the bed is comfortable and the room has all the amenities needed to make your stay pleasant.

Awkward check in with awkward parking; elevator not working; air conditioning not working; four different deposits on my card made me think my bank card was compromised; using "historic" but it was just old; shared kettle for the floor; $420 CDN for a hostel atmosphere; location was prime right in midst of Banff Ave; thin walls and late entering guests made for disruptive sleep.
