I booked this place because the facilities looked nice and it looked central. Let's just say that it didn't quite meet either.

The room simply felt "old" (common word here). Bed - complete with small hole in the sheet - couple of chairs squeezed in, alarm clock and an old-style pay per view TV in it. Not bad, but not as nice as I was expecting.

"Facilities" for the hotel consisted of the pool and hot-tub area (with steam room). It's actually a nice little facility, it's just that the motor for the hot tub was broken whilst I was there. Reasonable size too. There is no food on site. They have a sister place about 4 hotels down where they encourage you to eat (I didn't go there). The lobby area has ski-lockers and an internet kiosk - no wi-fi here.

Location actually wasn't too bad. A good 6 or 7 minute walk from the absolute centre, not as bad as some folks I spoke to. The best part is that the hotel is 2 doors down had a Chilis!

In a nutshell, this hotel is a bit tired feeling, it's seen better days. The decor is a bit faded and the overall design is rather odd (my room - and several others - overlooked a corridor which meant little light got in). That does mean you should get it cheap, and it is fine for a 2/3 day weekend, but I wouldn't want to be staying there for a week or more. You get what you pay for.

Had a delux room with 2 queen beds for family of 2 adults and 2 children (13 & 9) clean, plenty of room and a fantastic bathroom. (Deep tub and a seperate shower, underfloor heating)
Front desk staff very helpful and polite. If you want to stay somewhere fairly inexpensive over the Christmas holiday season then I don't think you could find a better place.

My husband and I have just stayed at the Cedar Court this past weekend for our skiing trip. The hotel is nicely situated, a short 10 minute walk into town. Staff were friendly and pleasant. We stayed in a Loft Suite which was a nice room. It was nice to have the two levels split giving the feeling of more space. There were two things that really let the room down however. Our front door which lead directly outside was very drafty and there appeared to be a small gap between the bottom of the door which let the cold minue 20 air in! Our main issue was sleeping upstairs in the bedroom, it was like a sauna and very uncomfortable to sleep at night. Even with the noisy ceiling fan on it was at times unbearable.
Apart from these issues the room was immaculate and very clean. I would recommend this hotel to people.

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for about 4 nights. I found the hotel through it's website and booked the loft style room for about $200+ a night. I understood that Banff is pricey especially in the summer but I did have high hopes for the room. When we arrived I was not too happy with the room. The decor is a little dated, the walls are plain white, and the bathroom was very awkward. I found the room to be a little depressing. The layout of the loft was cool though, although the steep spiral staircase would not be suitable for the elderly or people who have physical barriers. The king size bed was great and there was plenty of space for our belongings. The staff were very nice and helpful.
Downtown Banff is only a 10 minute walk away and this was very convenient!
In the end though I did feel a little cheated having to spend over $200 a night on the room, it just didn't compare to other places we've stayed at for the same or less amount.
The pool and hottub were nice although does not accomadate many people. In fact more than 6 adults in the pool would be awkward.
I probably would not stay at this hotel again. Instead I would just spend a little extra on a nicer hotel. It's possible my standards and expectations were just too high, but I've stayed in much nicer hotels for the same price.
