Top hotels in Downtown District

Moose Hotel And Suites
"Although this property was very clean, it was very basic. There were very few amenities for the price of the hotel. The towels were very thin and scratchy. The toilet paper was also very thin. The pillows and bedding were sub par."

Banff Park Lodge
"It's a very good hotel, but still undergoing a lot of construction. Do not expect to have your room ready much before 4:00. I stayed there two nights, a week apart. Both times I arrived a bit early, hoping to relax in my room. Both times I got in just before 4;00. It's a very popular tourist hotel ..."
