We spent two nights, June 22 & 23 at this hotel. It was very shabby and the 3 different rooms we tried all had problems. The first room reeked of cigarette smoke (non-smoking room!) and the toilet ran constantly, so we asked to be moved. It was early enough in the afternoon that they still had another room. The second room had problems in the bathroom - the taps weren't secured to the basin and the moulding around the vanity was loose. We could only stay in this room one night and were moved to a third room for our second night. This room opened directly onto the back parking lot, so it was quite noisy and unattractive. All the carpets throughout the hotel were filthy. The breakfast was mediocre. I overheard another couple at the checkout desk complaining about bad smells and noisy patrons in adjoining rooms. All the staff we encountered were very pleasant and tried to accomodate complaints to the best of their ability.

I stayed here based on the reviews. It was an okay hotel at a very good price. It was nice finding a hotel in Banff that wasn't outrageously priced and was still a decent hotel. It's an average hotel and it's nice that it comes with a continental breakfast. The only bad thing was the walls are thin. Luckily the rooms have fans to drown out the noise. Since the hotel was just a place to sleep it was perfect. The people were very nice and it was a great walk into town.

We stayed at the Red Carpet Inn during the period 04&05 May 07. The room was a good size for four people, we were able to comfortably fit four large suitcases plus set up a desk for intenet use. The location was suitable, just a short 10 minute walk into downtown Banff. We experienced no problems with noise and the staff were very helpful and attentive to our needs.

The hotel offers a simple breakfast of muffins, toast, cereal, juice, tea & coffee.

I stayed at the hotel this week. The room was very big and nicely decorated. The hotel was spotless. There was a fridge, cofeee maker, and large tv in the room. The bathroom was big and nicely equipped. The location was great less than a 5 minute walk from the center. There was a free breakfast in the morning with cerael, muffins, bread and spreads and coffee.

The best thing about the hotel were the people behind the front desk who went out of their way to be helpful. When I needed a bandaid one of the guys from the front desk went to the next hotel to get me one. When I asked if I could eat some cerael late in the evening they said no prblem and went to get me fresh milk.

Have stayed in more expensive hotels before but this hotel is absolutely tops in cleanliness and friendliness. Definately woth every cent and much much much more.

Will definately be back. Great hotel.
