A decent place to stay if it’s not a Friday night, when music blares till 2 am from the adjacent pub. Coffee maker was also not clean, which made the morning bleary wake-up even tougher.

This property was no frills but had everything we needed. The room was clean and updated. Did lack a space to hang things. A few more hooks would help. No elevator. Restaurant pub on site. Beautiful view of mountains and creek running next to property. Easy walking distance to shops, restaurants and downtown as well as trails. Take note. No hot tub on site. Great choice for price point.

The room/bathroom seemed dated from the 60's. The top layer covering the steps to the 2nd level needed were broken and the railing rough. Just didn't feel safe or kept up very well at all.

The photo on the Expedia website is deceptive. The property is not attractive and feels like a motel. The door to the bathroom was a barn door that kept sliding open. The restaurant on the first floor pumped out a very heavy odor of bacon cooking. No elevator, we had a third floor walk up. There was an outdoor music venue somewhere close with very loud amplifiers. Music alternated between very loud rock and equally loud accordion polkas. Yes you read that right. Accordion polkas. Between the stink from bacon cooking, the music, and constant traffic noise we couldn’t keep the window open. No A/C of course. The room had a fan. There was an analog clock on the wall with the wrong time.

The views were amazing. The hotel itself is old and therefore although maintained well enough, could def use an upgrade. Low season staffing meant self checkin after 5 pm.The room was small, outside access with no elevator, and well below the usual standards for the high cost. You are paying for location only, not accommodations standards.

Upgraded to a balcony. Lovely room, view of mountains and creekside. No air conditioning, something to keep in mind in summer. They do provide a fan. Only 2 cups and 2 coffee pouches. Not enough for our stay. We had arranged to meet my brother/ nephew and couldn't offer a drink. The office closed at 5 so unable to request more. No breakfast available.

Perfect location for what we needed! The rooms are older and no Ac but that almost adds to the character of the place! And honestly a really good price for the location in Canmore!
