8.2/10 Very Good! (106 reviews)

The check in process is a bit difficult. Meaning the keyless entry screen doesn’t work super well. I have stayed here twice and I love the building and rooms, but, both times I needed tenants to help. The screen needs a certain touch and the tenants advised that using keys works best (the tip of the key).

7.8/10 Good! (401 reviews)

Location was excellent - very close to downtown Canmore and many restaurants nearby. Facility was as pictured on Expedia and was clean. Only downside is that suite was on the main floor and we could hear every footstep taken by the people in the unit above us. Bring ear plugs so that the unit above you does not disturb your sleep.
