“In my opinion, this is a smart choice in Banff for travellers who appreciate modern comforts and thoughtful amenities. I especially like that it is located within walking distance of the town's restaurants, but provides bus passes for those who prefer not to walk. I think the inclusion of mountain views, coupled with practical perks such as free parking and Wi-Fi, makes this property a particularly appealing option.”
