This 2-star Banff hotel combines midcentury design elements including concrete walls and unfinished wood paneling. Each accommodation includes a flat-screen TV with cable channels, microwave, mini-refrigerator, coffee maker, and in-room safe. Bathrooms offer stand-up showers and Rocky Mountain Soap Company products. The property provides complimentary WiFi throughout and free self-parking. A central courtyard features an expansive wooden deck with seating. The Dorothy stands within 1 mile of multiple attractions including Banff Park Museum, The Whyte Museum of the Canadian Rockies, and Saint Mary's Parish.

Pros

Direct forest views and mountain vistas

Walking distance to multiple restaurants and cultural attractions

Exterior corridor access provides easy loading/unloading

Large windows in all rooms

Cons

62 miles from Calgary International Airport

Rooms facing the bus depot may experience noise

“What strikes me about this motel is its location, removed from downtown Banff's frenzy but still easily accessible via the free bus passes provided. The recently refurbished rooms, with their nature-inspired decor, offer a clean and private retreat. It appears to be a practical choice for those seeking convenience and a touch of quiet.”
