Banff Rocky Mountain Resort
The place was ok but in need of some basic maintenance. The carpet on the stairs needs to go. Old worn and looked dirty. Time for paint etc. The price point was fair for condition but don’t expect anything to look new. Bed was comfortable .

Hotel 11, MOD A Sonesta Collection
Staff is friendly and accommodating. The room was clean and quiet, the beds and pillows were so cozy. My friend and I both had a great sleep in the bed. Pool is nice with being open all the time, downside is if a rowdy group goes in can ruin it for others.
