It lacks the wow factor of Banff’s top-end hotels, but you can sometimes get decent deals at this spot on Banff Ave. Avoid the claustrophobic windowless standard rooms sandwiched between interior hallways; a little extra cash buys more space and perhaps a mountain view. Perks include whirlpool tubs, sauna and steam room, and an included full-buffet breakfast.
