The Dorothy is very nice. Our room was very modern and retro at the same time. No front desk however which is different. You have to check-in at the nearby Banff Caribou Lodge. The individuals there are very nice. It didn’t matter to us. We enjoyed our stay.

We’ve stayed at this hotel before and like the previous time, we enjoyed our stay. Check-in is easiest through their mobile app and the key is accessible through your phone. The room was modern and clean. Plenty of parking spaces available and street parking is available as well. Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel.
