Nice environment

The location and the environment of the hotel is awesome. I like the hot tub with the mountain view. It would be prefect if the hotel could prepare three sets of cup and towel which I booked and marked there are three people to stay.

Loved the outdoor pool area and view of the mountains from our room. Location is a bit outside of the city center, however.

A Sumptuous Home Base in Banff

We absolutely loved the Otter. Wonderful room, tasteful furnishings, great local soap, shampoo, and custom coffee order every morning included. And the view from the hot tub was stunning. Used it every day. They also give you free passes to use the awesome Roam buses, didn’t need to use our car the four days we were there. The Otter restaurant and Sudden Sally restaurant at their sister hotel next store were amazing. Ate almost all our meals there. Finally, the staff were lovely. Very helpful and kind.
