“very good experience for a ski week”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Overall we were very satisfied with the hotel and would stay there again.

My family and I stayed 5 nights in one room for a skiing week. The room with two queen beds was very good size and the beds had very good linens. Like others have said, the included breakfast was ample with eggs, sausage, waffles or pancakes, cereals, breads, muffins, fruit, juices and coffee. The breakfast room did fill up quickly at 7am on busy ski days. The underground parkade (love that Canadian word) was very convenient. The hotel is about a four block walk to the heart of Banff Avenue shopping and restaurants, so location is very good. The first night we stayed, there were at least three rooms close to us with dogs, so if the occasional bark or allergies are issues, ask for a room away from dogs. We never heard any barking during sleeping hours.

Knowing that Best Westerns can vary widely in quality, this was a very nice experience. I would compare the quality directly to a good Marriott Courtyard (only with breakfast included)

btw - our stay was also using points and a free night voucher, and the correct number of points were deducted. Also, from BW to Sunshine parking lot was less than 30 minute drive.

“ski weekend”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 December 2011

A few friends and family rented 3 rooms on third floor for Friday and Saturday night. Hotel staff were very good getting all three rooms together. Room was spacious so we could have a gathering in our room of 8 people and not feel squished. Beds and pillows were great. Hotel is very close to main strip for shopping and restaurants. The price of the room included breakfast which consisted of scrabbled eggs and sausages, or waffles. You could also have cereal. Food was okay for buffet style. Food could have been hotter. We also ate at the Keg and the old Spaghetti Factory. Both of these were very good. I used Best Western points for this for a portion of the cost. When we booked on the Best Western Web site the confirmation page showed 24,000 points per night per room. When I checked out they charged me 31,000. I was not happy about getting dinged for an extra 21,000 points. I was told the manager would contact me but have not heard anything yet.

“great place”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 October 2011

people found this review helpful

My husband ,myself and sister stayed here for one night and found it great. The front desk clerk was friendly, the rooms clean and the bathroom(which I am very fussy about) super clean with lots of towels etc. The only complaint I have was the breakfast. Everything that was to be hot was cold. There was lots food but it was cold . If staying in that area I would say you really have to eat at Bumpers. We would stay here again if we were in the area..
