Peaks Hotel & Suites
Beautiful hotel. Love the design of hotel & rooms. The use of hot tubs, pool & exercise room across street worked great. The location is perfect as it’s in town & the shuttle yo the ski resorts is right out front.

Banff Ptarmigan Inn
I’d really give it 3.5* The location is the biggest asset. Close to the village strip with shopping restaurants etc 1 block away. It’s tired but ok. The biggest downfall is that the advertised laundry does NOT exist. You have to go next door to the moose hotel in their parkade area and do it there. ...
