Banff Ptarmigan Inn
Check-in and out was fast and efficient. Room was clean. We booked a room with a king and queen bed which were basically in separate rooms. Very nice when travelling with kids as there is some privacy between the beds. Location is 5 minutes from everything, so no driving once you arrive. Local buses ...
