The large room was very clean and quiet. The staff across the street were very cordial and courteous. They also gave us the best coffee and real cream...that's right, not creamers!! The washroom and shower were large and had great soap and shampoo. The only negative was the loudness of the heating system.

Bathroom had a fair amount of neglect in the overall cleanliness. Built up dust, stains, obvious nastiness in the grout, corners, baseboards. Comfy enough and nice enough design but the cleanliness was dissappinting considering it was a $200 a night room.

The room was spotless and smelled so clean when we walked in. Not only that it’s the value you are getting here. They made up coffee/hot chocolate bags for our room, we had access to the hot pools and amenities at the main hotel. You could hear foot traffic from the room above but I have no complaints. The room was at least half the price of other hotels in the area, it’s an older building, it’s not gonna be perfect but it’s close enough. We would definitely stay here again if we find ourselves back in Banff one day. 9.5/10

This is the place to stay as a family!! The rooms are big and the beds are also big! You get all the conveniences of Hotel Canoe and Hotel Otter (roof top hot pools and fire tables) without the high prices! It’s a quick walk over to the Otter to access the hot pools but worth it! Parking is free and there is plenty of it. It’s a bit of a walk to downtown but manageable

I had a great stay. The room was clean and fully stocked plus it was really spacious, excellent location just a short walk (20 min.) to downtown Banff. The service was excellent and having access to the hot pools was a nice bonus.

My sister and I had an impromptu visit to Banff last week and I found the Dorothy on Expedia. It was really inexpensive and was a wonderful little motel. The staff at the Canoe where we checked in were super nice and accommodating. The room was clean and the beds were very comfortable. We were given complimentary bus tickets to get around Banff with which was great as parking in Banff has become very expensive for day parking. Highly recommend the Dorothy.
