Minnestima Lakes

Knew it was basic for amenities, but this is a motel, not a hotel as represented in the description. Very sparse amenities, and desk only available from 2:30-10:30 pm during our stay. While it worked fine for us, there is no noise blocking AT ALL. If you have trouble sleeping or it’s busy season and you need a quiet place, I’d skip this one. No elevators, so if you have any issues with stairs request the first floor. It was fine, but don’t think I’d use a Base Camp property in the future if I can avoid it. Reviews made it sound nicer than what it is. It was pretty clean and the bed wasn’t too bad, so that was a plus.

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 in downtown Banff, so expect crowding.

Clean and great location !
