Raelene from Red Deer, AB CA stayed on April 24, 2005

"During our stay at the hotel, we had left for a few hours to go shopping and had left the window slightly open with the curtains open as well. Came back a few hours later, and someone had been in our room. Window and curtains were closed. So a staff member of the hotel was in our room while we were gone and I did not find this very appropriate, I feel that they went against our privacy. Also wasn't very happy that your website listed this hotel rate as being US dollars and not Canadian. I looked online at another hotel that stated the rate in Canadian dollars. It would be nice to see some consistency as I thought I was paying $180 when really that was US dollars and I actually paid $231 Canadian. Will not be staying at your hotel again!!!!"

"Pro¡­s: Newer Hotel (buildt approx. 2000) Nice and large rooms (Junior suite) Close to Banff town centre (best little town in the Rockys) Very good food in the restaurant Friendly staff almost no charge for heated car parking Con¡­s: No heating in the bathroom - Hey! It has been winter time in Canada! Understaffed during high times - e.g. impacts response time of service in hotel and restaurant Bar is not of interest Summary: we liked it and would take it again"

William from Colorado Springs, CO US stayed on July 16, 2004

"The Royal Canadian was a nice, boutique-style hotel, small enough that it was quaint, but didn't feature as many ammenities as the resorts. That said, the restaurant is supposed to be wonderful, the staff was excellent and they even included a bottle of champagne! We were on our honeymoon...a solid experience."

"I feel like we made a great choice at this hotel. The security of the underground parking with a prox card made me feel that my car was safe, and it was very nice to be able to park so close to the elevators. Air Condition, food, service were excellent. They even cleaned my windshield on my car at night, so my view was excellent the next day. I think they show that they go the extra mile!"

Patrick from Nieuwegein, NL stayed on May 29, 2004

"The parking was quite expensive (20 dollars a night) and it was nog mentioned when we booked the hotel. The spa-area was closed for the majority of our stay. On the door it said that it would 'open within a few hours', but this sign was kept up for nearly three days!!"
