Great location and friendly staff The hotel is convenient for those who want easy access to the main shopping areas and restaurants in Banff. The staff is very friendly and accommodating, always willing to help. My only small concern is that it can get a bit noisy between rooms at times — so if you’re a light sleeper, you might want to keep that in mind. Overall, a great stay and excellent value for the location.

This was our second stay at The Elk & Avenue, having visited first in October 2023. We really enjoy this hotel. The staff are terrific, the hotel is attractive & comfortable. We've eaten in the restaurant quite a few times, and the food & service are great. Our room was spacious and we loved the mountain views! The beds are very comfy. The location of the hotel couldn't be better, as it's smack dab in the middle of town, and everything is just a short walk away. All in all, a really pleasant place to stay while you enjoy the beautiful park! We highly recommend this hotel!

We stayed here for 2 nights this past spring. The location of the hotel is excellent. You are right on the edge of downtown Banff. The staff upgraded my 2 double room to a loft and the extra room was much appreciated. Lots of dining options around the hotel.
