"Ruby was amazing. Super accommodating, and made sure we had the best experience there. Hot tub was big and clean had both steam and sauna rooms. Place was very clean, however there were a few cosmetic deficiencies/maintenance issues that I'm sure will be addressed. They were minor and did not distract from the experience, just noticeable. Parking was available and reasonable priced."

Front desk staff were so nice & accommodating — late check out due to having a Moriane Lake Tour scheduled, was able to park in the parking garage before I checked in and after I checked out."

The only one thing that I’m not happy about this property is no air conditioning. I still highly recommend and if I’m visiting Banff again I’m definitely going to stay here."
