"We had an excellent 4 night stay here as a family of five with kids. We were a bit worried about the construction but it wasn’t an issue at all. We stayed in a Lodge Suite and it was very spacious. We loved having two bathrooms although only one had a shower. We really enjoyed the Crave restaurant for breakfast (so much choice and a beautiful space with mountain view). We also went to Crave for their Asian buffet night and it was fantastic. The chef even went out of his way to make an additional vegetarian option for our family (without us even making this request). All of the staff at the hotel were very helpful and it was lovely to be able to ask the front desk questions through WhatsApp. We also really enjoyed the pool after long days out. The hotel is in a perfect location with bow river behind it and a 3 min walk to Banff Ave."

The jacuzzi and hot tubs were the highlight of our stay, with amazing views and fireplaces. Parking was really easy and everything was at a nice walking distance, from the gas station, to some restaurants.
