We have stayed at Bumpers many times throughout the years. The price is very reasonable for being in Banff. No, it's not new or all that modern. But, it is clean and comfortable. The centre courtyard is a very nice touch and we love sitting there during the evening playing cards. We have never had a problem with noisy people sitting there late in the evening. If we did, I think one call to the front desk would solve the matter. The lady who works the front desk during the day (Linda) is very friendly and helpful. The fact it is located beside Bumper's Beef House is a bonus since you don't have to go far for a great meal! All you can eat salad bar is great! And, the prime rib is fantastic!

Complaints about Bumper's surprises me. What do people expect? As others have stated, you don't go to Banff to spend time in your room. If you want something affordable and comfortable, stay at Bumper's.

We were travelling in May and hit the off season rates. Easy to find, staff very friendly. Rooms were nice, finished in pine. No air conditioning though, so had to have windows open and there were some noisy guests in the courtyard. We definately recommend Bumpers to the budget minded traveller.

6 nights at Bumpers started us off on our 3 week stay in the Rockies.
The start wasn't great as we were allocated the room above Reception with glorious views of the car park and road junction.
However, when we spoke to the helpful receptionist, we were given 3 keys to rooms to view and decide which we'd prefer. As such we got a suitable room round the back.
The positives with Bumpers is it is cheap for Banff. Plus it's next to the Bumpers Steak House - which is great (we preferred eating in the bar upstairs) rather than downstairs in the restaurant - but that too is very good - especially the salad bar.
Downsides are that it is a bit "tired" in the room, everything had been well used. Also - it's a gamble on the other guests staying there. All rooms face into a central court which is you have other guests partying into the evening will make things noisy.
It's a 15 minute stroll into town if you don't want to drive.

We wanted a place in Banff that would not cost a fortune and that was just clean and was a place to rest our heads for a few nights.

This Inn was just perfect for that. It's not luxury, it is simple and clean and you won't be paying rip off prices like in the rest of Banff. Most of the day you'll be out and about so my recommendation is to take the cheap option unless its a special occasion.

Its location is right on the main road (like all other hotels) but its probably the last hotel on the strip out of town. You get the odd coyote in the car park at night! It's about 15 mins walk from town. Speaking of coyotes, try the Coyote restaurant while you are here, we loved it.
