Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Excellent location in the town of Banff. The room was comfortable and in a quiet location on the property. We enjoyed the sunset from the balcony seating. Pretty view overlooking the Bow River and surrounding mountains.
Negative: The portable fan didn't really provide good airflow or cooling in the room. The sliding door wasn't secure. At the price point breakfast should have been included. Train whistle every 2 hours throughout the night must be noticeable regardless of where you stay in Banff.
Summary: Excellent location and comfortable stay in Banff
