“In my opinion, this is a solid choice for Canmore, particularly appreciating its central location within easy walking distance to shops and restaurants. While some might find the facilities a bit dated given its history, the rooms are well-maintained and clean. I especially like the locally sourced toiletries, a touch that reflects the hotel's connection to the community.”
