When walking into the Elk + Avenue Hotel the lobby is absolutely stunning, so you would expect the entire hotel to be that way... wrong. The rooms are budget at best. We spent 8 days exploring Banff and Jasper and this was definitely my least favorite hotel. The rooms are super dated and in need of some TLC. Our shower was also broken - the rain shower portion wouldn't work, so we had to use the wand. The two best things about this hotel are the underground parking ($10 CAD/night) and the location to downtown. Parking was super convenient and we were able to take the elevator from the garage directly to a few doors down from our room (located on the 1st floor). Bed was also very comfy. Wouldn't stay here again if we ever came back to Banff.
