Don’t let the word “motel” deter you. This place has been recently renovated to an adorable, clean, cozy place that my friends and I had a lovely time staying at. I’m looking forward to staying there again!

Instructions on how to operate heating/fan, perhaps alongside the wall thermometer, would help to permit optimal use. Thank you for the great hospitality!

Great property and nicely appointed rooms. Initial check-in is at the Canoe Hotel which is across the street. They have daily coffee and tea supply delivery and a pour over coffee maker in the room. The beauty of it is that you have full access to the Canoe Hotel's emenities. Hotel is a short walk down Banff Ave into town. Definitely would stay here again when visiting the area.

The property was quiet. More or less clean. Renovated rooms, had a gap under the door that was letting cold air in. Nothing a towel didn't fix! Great price.

Two nights

I asked for a quiet room and they delivered. You certainly hear noise outside, but nothing from the walls. We stayed in the same room before, so I was surprised to see they no longer have complimentary tea and coffee on the rooms. They still have a kettle, cups and a French press. I would have asked if we could get something from the main office at the Canoe, but the lineup at their counter wasn't worth the wait. Aside from that change, everything was as good as our last visit. Oh one other change worth mentioning, is they now have compost bins. That's the first time I've seen a hotel have them.
