A little piece of heaven in a charming lovely nest. We would highly recommend it.
Pros:

-Pleasant staff happy to help in any way.
- Impeccably clean
-Eclectic, upscale rustic decor was beautiful, fresh, inviting and charming
-Outdoor patio area was very inviting
-Beds, pillow and linens excellent
-Breakfast was outstanding, yummy
-Coffee(think it was Starbucks) was awesome
We spent two nights at this wonderful place and everything was perfect. A very pleasant stay and every staff member seemed to love their jobs. A very pleasant atmosphere for guests.

Cons:

-We are dog lovers but one couple had two dogs that barked constantly when in lobby and eating areas.

-Price was rather high but probably the going rate in a beautiful and pleasant town.

Great Hotel with friendly staff and clean facilities.
Pros:

The hotel is clean. Staff is friendly. The complimentary breakfast, happy hour and evening smores make it a pleasant addition to the hotel stay. The location of the hotel is outside of the Banff downtown away for the crowds but still easy enough to walk to downtown in 10 to 15 min.

Cons:

We were four of us and had a room with two beds and the AC unit was right near one bed. So the person sleeping near the AC had to use a blanket because it was cold in that spot. The AC also had some issues where we could not keep the fan on all the time without running the cold air.

Great choice on Banff Avenue
Pros:

The hotel is a bit further from the downtown, about a mile. However, location gives an advantage to find free stree parking. Also, it gives an experience of local Banff than crowded downtown area. The hotel exterior and interior are very well maintained and gives the luxury vibe. Our room was quite spacious. Bathroom shower was extremely good, Bed was comfy enough to get a really good sleep. Front desk staff was very courteous. Jade even gave us some tips about things to see.
Although I missed omlette, overall, breakfast was great with many choices.
Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and recommend this hotel.

It was an exceptional stay. Thanks for making it great!
Pros:

Hotel room was amazing and comfortable. I appreciated the sheets and the rooms being tended to each day.
Admontites such as hot tub area, fire pit, patio chairs and cocoon chairs were fantastic to use during the duration of stay.
I appreciated Front Desk/Manager(?) Daniel for helping me with check in and saw that I was waiting to be helped. His sense of initiative and customer service was appreciated and well-noticed.

Cons:

Breakfast was alright. It would have been nice to see some other options at the breakfast bar. The juice section should be located where coffee and tea are. It's also by the cafe where people could be more inclined and in the same vicinity as the coffee/bar shop. It would also give you more options and/or ways to lay out breakfast items.

Lovely clean hotel in great location, good facilities.
Pros:

Modern, bright, very clean hotel and just 15 min walk to the centre of Banff. Great location.

Cons:

While staff were professional and friendly they could be abrupt. The lady that operates the bar was rude at times. Closed up 40 mins early one night with no notice and refused to serve customer ahead of me.
