Econo Lodge was an excellent choice for me, exceptionally clean and an excellent price point.
Pros:

I was looking for a location close to The Foothills Hospital. I wanted something very clean but not overly expensive because I was only there to sleep and then I went back to the hospital for the whole day. The King bed was very comfortable.

Cons:

My room had quite a bit of road noise but I was close to The Banff Trail. There were other rooms further back from the road that would have been quieter but road noise does not really bother me that much so I didn’t bother moving rooms.
