Mount Royal Hotel
I always stay at the Mount Royal when I visit Banff. The staff are great and the location is perfect — close to everything. The only downside is that the hot tub could use an update, as the jets are very loud and sound like they might be broken. Otherwise, it’s a great place to stay.
