My husband and I stayed here on a trip driving across Canada - we didn't book in advance, just wanted an affordable place to sleep after a cold day wandering around Banff. I was hesitant at first (the receptionist at the Ptarmigan, the property that owns this hotel, said that the Driftwood was "just a bit older", which in my... more

If it is hot and stuffy in the room in Sept. I wonder what it is like on a hot July day. It would be unbearable. We were only here one night which was enough. Oh the halls smelled like a run down apartment with cooking smells. more

Stayed here for several nights mid-Sept. Window broken in first room we were allocated, but reception moved us to room on second floor. Room large, and clean. Bed was excellent, bed linen was spotlessly clean. Bathroom adequate, and clean. Had no problems parking car. Staff were friendly and efficient, even giving us directions to a car wash locally. The location... more

We stayed here one night on our road trip from Calgary to Vancouver so as long as it was cheap, clean, and allowed pets, any room would suffice. It was one of the cheaper places to stay for about $115/night so met that criteria. Because it was one of the cheaper places, cleanliness was not top notch. But it was... more

The Driftwood is difficult to find as it is an older portion of a newer hotel called the Ptarmigan Inn located at 555 Banff Ave. The Driftwood is an older facility but we found it very roomy, quiet, clean, and cheap compared to the other hotels in town. It was $106 for the night, tax included. We had 2 queen... more

We stayed here for one night. The location was terrific, but it was very hard to find. Bed was comfortable. Room OK, bathroom a bit on the small side. Probably wouldn't stay again, but the price was right for us at the time, so we always get what we pay for. more

We never actually stayed the night at this place. It is linked to the Ptarmigan Inn, uses the same check in desk. This is nothing like the pictures (except the bed). The rooms are extreemly cramped and hot. The building is situated in the parking lot of the Ptarmigan Inn. The building is old outdated and dingy. We booked on... more

Affordable, comfortable and a great location. If your not looking for something fancy stay at the Driftwood Inn. Its right on the main street and an easy walk to shops and restaurants. Really comfortable beds, they have just been replaced, pillows were also really comfy which is a big plus when travelling. more

We stayed here for one night and found the room very adequite and comfortable. The feather bed was a nice touch. Though this building is a little rougher around the edges it was a good value for where you are. Parking is very tight around the Inn you can use the underground parkade next door. You also have access to... more

We booked this hotel through bestofbanff.com web site. We stayed there for 4 days. Hotel doesn't have elevator. We were given a room on the 2nd floor and had to have someone to help us carry the luggages up there. Staff were friendly. We came down one morning asking where to buy the bus pass and was given one as... more
