We stayed here for 4 days and cannot begin to express how wonderful everything was! The breakfast is exceptional and far exceeded expectations. There are two girls who made our stay even more enjoyable and that was Marta and Eleanor!! They are so lovely and so dedicated to your comfort that we honestly thought they must be part of the family who owns it. They greet you with smiles and it’s a great way to start your day! We highly recommend!
I don't typical write reviews, but this is literally the best inn I have ever stayed in. The service was incredible. Beautiful view of the mountains and walking distance to downtown. 24/7 access to coffee, assortment of teas and hot chocolate. The breakfast was absolutely delicious with fresh chia seed putting, smoothie, and eggs/hashbrowns. The hot tub was very cozy and quiet at night. They have quite a few add ons if you have a longer stay, but you need to request it in advance. I went during their off season so prices were very reasonable for a tight budget but with everything they have to offer, I would come here during their busier season, too.
The breakfast was great! The service was friendly and I loved the big bed and updated bathroom. However, there was no elevator to help get luggage up to the second floor, no black out blinds to keep light out in the morning, and an unusual policy of not allowing shoes inside (slippers provided) which made it even more difficult going in and out with the luggage.
This is a gem of a place. We have stayed at several places in Canmore over the years but this is by far our favorite. Super friendly staff, great breakfast, very cute rooms, amazing views from the hot tub, and the private sauna were all spectacular.
Lovely accommodation. My children had an adorable loft bedroom above my husband and I. The breakfast was pristine, service very friendly, and the hot tub icing in the cake. 10/10 great location to
Anabel Greeted us as we entered at 9:00 pm. She was welcoming and a very gracious, friendly person. Our room was as cozy as the reception! Hottub on the roof was so nice to relax in. Breakfast the next morning was very tasty, served by Katerina the host and she was awesome. Overall an amazing atmosphere with 5 star service.!
This place was so charming, very clean, quiet and cozy. I felt at home, our bedroom was really cute and we had a balcony. The hot tub has a view on the mountains and there is also a sauna and cold plunge. The common areas were great - we played chess next to the fireplace. My favorite part was the tea station, they had so many kinds of tea with plastic-free tea bags. The staff were friendly and helpful. Location is perfect it is walking distance to all the boutiques and restaurants. We will definitely be back!
We spent two nights here. The Christmas atmosphere was nostalgic and welcoming. The rooms were warm and cozy. We very much appreciated the accommodating and pleasant staff. This felt like home away from home and we look forward to coming back!
