Staff are generally friendly and nice; that’s the only positive I can say unfortunately; at the nightly room rate charged (close to $600 per night), one would expect a certain level of cleanliness, up to date rooms and infrastructure, and daily housekeeping to list a few…however, none of this was evident during the stay.
I understand that every hotel in Banff uses the season to milk its visitors but I would hope that there is a modicum of service and quality that ought to be provided. The photos on the listing (I used Expedia) are bright and make the place look amazing. It is not. If they charged $100-$150 per night, I’d understand. But not at their rates.
The entire infrastructure is crumbling. The place requires much TLC to be brought back up to a standard that ought to be basic minimum for a hotel that charges $500 plus a night. Worn carpeting, woeful small rooms, old, dilapidated fixtures and no housekeeping over 3 nights is not an acceptable set of features.
Hopefully, the resort will change and improve.
