Great location in town. There was a lot of noise from the next block which had a house with a lot of young people. They tented to get home early in the AM.
Great value

Ate at St. James Gate pub! Nothing really good about the place.

We found the hotel to be clean and comfortable, but a little bit warm for a desk fan. As with previous comments, we felt that an air con unit would have made the two night stay a bit more comfortable, most hotels we stayed in throught our trip had air con. Would request a first floor room next time, as we had a lot of people/car/headlights at ground level!!

We had breakfast in the Ptarmigan Inn next door, where you chek in. Lovely buffet breakfast for a reasonable $13 each.

Only a 2 minute walk from all the lovely shops and restaurants in Banff (Athena Italian restaurant and Tony Romas superb food)

May stay there again, depending on availability and quality of other nearby accomodation.

Stayed at the driftwood after starting out at the caribou lodge. same company owns both.
The room is nothing special but you are right in the center of town.

After a day's hiking you can use the whirlpool at the hotel next door.

Better value than Caribou Lodge

Had I booked directly through the hotel I would have asked for a refund, however, since it was through Hotels.com I couldn't do that and the window to cancel for a fee was over.

The good:
-Towels and sheets were decent.
-One of cheaper hotels in the area
-Walking distance to shops and food.

The bad:
-Very dirty. My wife called it the 'dustbunny inn'. Her dust allergies acted up so bad she didn't sleep at all. My daughter and I had a hard time breathing as well and were getting congested.
-Mattress was well past its prime. Not comfortable at all.
-Very little parking. We got the last spot.
