For $89 a night, the Red Carpet Inn was an excellent deal. The room was clean and spacious (we stayed in the King/Jacuzzi room) and the service was good.

There was no problem with noise at night - we did not hear anything through the walls. The hotel is very close to downtown, and everything you could need is in walking distance (restaurants, pubs, the Whyte museum, stores, etc.). The breakfast consisted of cereal, toast, muffins, juice and coffee... nothing special, but it is "all you can eat," so we were able to fill our stomachs before hitting the ski hill.

Probably the best part of our hotel room was the ensuite jacuzzi. It was lovely to be able to soak in the (big!) tub together after a long day. Very relaxing and romantic.

We will almost certainly go back again. Excellent value for the price, and the jacuzzi was a wonderful treat!

Banff is a prime tourist location and generally accomodation is expensive, but the Red Carpet Inn offers reasonable value for money. We had a very nice room - furnished to a high standard and plenty of room for our family of 4. There is a nice hot tub and, apparently, you can use the swimming pool next door. The rate includes breakfast - but the breakfast room is very small with very basic furniture and the breakfast is no more than adequate. The hotel is about 5 minutes walk from the centre of Banff. I would recommend the Red Carpet Inn.

Stayed here for two nights in Sep 06. Not a bad place, it was clean and there was air con in our room which was very effective as it was very warm when we stayed there. Room contained a coffee maker and a fridge as well as a big TV. Free underground parking but not secure, it's open to all. We paid about £90 a night and the standard is only just about UK Travelodge specifications. The hotel does need a makeover as the decor and fittings date from I would say about 1985. The free breakfast was good and you could have as much as you want, avoid the muffins though, for two days running they were like concrete!

We were originally booked into the high country inn two doors down and because of overbooking we were put into this hotel. The room was comfortable as was the bed, as with previous comments the decor was dated but i would imagine that for the price it was ideally situated 10 mins from main drag shops and bars, Try Wild Bills or the Keg if you visit the food and beer (particularly liked Grasshopper beer) was good. The breakfast room is tiny and limited continental choice. The choice at the high country inn was twice as big with make your own waffles!
The staff were very freindly and the only reason for the 3* rating is the Decor and dated appearance. 30 Minute walk to the Bow fall well worth a visit on foot, we saw 2 elk in the woods wow. Hello to Gordie(perfect pitch?)and Judy our reps .
