Benoit, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Very nice hotel - the closeness to Hotel Canoe (for the hot pools and lobby/restaurant) was great, and the rooms were perfect for a family of 4 (kids under 10). The craft coffee to make pour-overs every morning was an awesome addition!

Cute decor and love the courtyard area. Beautiful! At the end of the busy street so you’re close to downtown Banff area but just far enough that it’s quiet

Celine, 2-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The Dorothy Motel was excellent. Comfortable beds and clean. The parking was free and you could either walk into town 15mins or get a free bus by using a card the hotel gave us. The hot spa pools were lovely in the canoe hotel which was part of the motel group and free to use. Good value for money and we would stay again.

The renovations look great and the rooms were comfortable.
