What Guests Say About Their Stay

Stayed here recently and overall had a solid experience. The room was clean, amenities were decent, and the location made it super easy to catch buses to the ski hills - which was a big plus. Hot tub was really amazing - great views of the mountains. But honestly, the highlight of our stay was a staff member named Reese. Without being asked, Reese tracked down a microwave, toaster, and cutlery for us - the kind of initiative you just don't expect from hotel staff. Friendly, proactive, and genuinely went out of their way to make our stay better. That's the kind of person who deserves to move up. Minor note: a vacuum pass during a multi-night stay would've been appreciated, but it's a small thing. Would stay again - especially knowing Reese is on the team.

Otter hotel is clean and new, and hot tub is definitely high light! Location is convenient. The hotel is very thoughtful, it provides bus tickets through Banff ave, and close to the shuttle bus stations to ski resort.

Hotel is nice , clean , beautiful hotel for the mountains. Hot tubs are great and with heated floor in the pool area Nice to get bus passes to downtown ..that is a great feature. It was definitely disappointing as we asked for a quiet area and our luck was with us as we got placed by the loudest family of children who wake up at 7am slamming doors multiple times with no consideration of us around. Plus the elevator was right next to our room so it was definitely not a quiet area in the hotel. We came to relax and sleep in as we have been exhausted from our jobs. So my next request will be please put us by the loudest area then maybe a hotel will finally give us a quiet area.

Overall a good stay, nice hotel, friendly staff, convenient location & free parking. Downside, doors on rooms (to hallway) do not have the typical smoke seal or threshold, meaning the hallway noise, and noise from other rooms nearby are not softened at all! We were woken up twice by staff standing in the hallway talking loudly on their walkie talkies. Not awesome!

This is a very welcoming property with excellent, elevated hot pools, a great sauna and sitting area. The staff supplies you with all the accoutrements for pour over coffee in the your room. The rooms are cozy and efficient and don't leave you wanting for more. The underground parking is easy and isn't an extra cost as most places are these days. The resteraunt has fabulous food and all of the staff are friendly. Can't recommend the Otter enough.
