J'y retournerais, mais seul.
Pros:

Sa situation centrale et surtout l'arrêt des bus juste à côté. Très calme malgré sa position sur Banff Ave et le restaurant adjacent.

Cons:

La chaleur dans la chambre : 26C / 79F malgré le ventilateur qui tournait H24, la petitesse de la SDB.

Banff is exceptional and King Edward hotel is right in line with this expectation; highly recommend!
Pros:

The location is perfect, right in downtown. It's a little dated but kept up very well and super clean! The front desk lady was very patient will all my questions, and super nice.

Cons:

Checkout is a little early, but they did allow us to explore and leave the car parked while we did so.

Great location in the heart of Banff!
Pros:

Location was excellent!! Right in the heart of town. Came with carspace which is very helpful in Banff.

Cons:

Even though they tell you, it is quite challenging without air conditioning. If the town is warm, your room will be quite hot and uncomfortable.
