I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and offered incredible views, but the noise from nearby guests disrupted my sleep. The staff were friendly and attentive, particularly in accommodating my dietary needs. The location was stunning, situated in a valley surrounded by mountains with beautiful views. While the dining options were delicious, I wish they had more variety. Overall, it was a decent place, but the noise could be improved.

I recently stayed at this hotel, and while the breathtaking views from the room left me in awe, the overall condition of the room felt outdated and not quite worth the high price tag. The service was exceptional, with friendly staff who truly went above and beyond to make me feel special. The location was fantastic, nestled in the beauty of the Canadian Rockies and just a short distance from Banff. However, the dining experience was a letdown, with low-quality food that didn’t deliver on value.
