喜歡：乾淨、安靜、燈可調控、水壓足且夠熱、空調溫度OK，空間足夠。 不喜歡：(此飯店主打免接觸入住-簡單入住！) 在該網訂房後，該網聊天訊息擋E-mail，無法真正取得飯店確認，打電話去飯店確認後，也無法得到確認信…還要跑到另外一家飯店拿房卡，那間飯店沒有停車位，這點很不方便。

The room was very well appointed, lots of towels, coffee, great toiletries and a super comfy bed. I’m not a fan of the automated hotel, but front desk service at a sister hotel a couples of blocks away. The Dorothy is a fair walk from downtown Banff.

Large rooms with doors to a huge, enclosed patio that is perfect for pets. Beautifully renovated and nicely furnished. The only down side was that the floor needed a good mopping.

No check-in information was sent in advance and there was so many confusion to get into the room. The service is poor. Coffee maker and electric kettle are very old and almost not usable. The cups are not clean and there is no paper cup. I would not stay here again.

The Dorothy is very nice. Our room was very modern and retro at the same time. No front desk however which is different. You have to check-in at the nearby Banff Caribou Lodge. The individuals there are very nice. It didn’t matter to us. We enjoyed our stay.

We’ve stayed at this hotel before and like the previous time, we enjoyed our stay. Check-in is easiest through their mobile app and the key is accessible through your phone. The room was modern and clean. Plenty of parking spaces available and street parking is available as well. Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel.
