“The appeal of this Banff Avenue lodge lies in its full-service spa and reputable onsite steakhouse; complimentary transit passes and pet-friendly rooms add value for guests. However, some may find the dated decor and small rooms a drawback, especially given the distance from Main Street. Overall, I'd say it's a mixed bag.”

Acceptable, but not impressed

The location was acceptable. It's on the main street and a reasonable walk to many attractions.
I encountered an issue with the toilet. The handle unhooked when flushing, and it did not work several times. I had to remove the back each time just to flush.

the location is convenient being a walkable distance from restaurants and amenities. i stayed in the superior king room. it had a roomy lobby, excellent! the included parking was easy to use.
My superior king room's window faced a taller building, so there was little natural light. The space felt a little dark.
