Amazing Stay

It was a great stay. It is right across the street from Canoe Hotel. You get to use the same hot tub and sauna and gym as Canoe Hotel guests. No complains here. The room was very close to the bus stop, which takes you downtown.

Had a wonderful stay here and it’s very cute and clean! Loved the shampoo and conditioner they provide from the Rocky Mountain Soap Company!
Kiana, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A gem in the woods!

The Dorothy and Hotel Canoe are a no brainer when staying in Banff! Check-in was a breeze and Sarah was an angel making sure she covered all our needs and gave us tips and recommendations. Coffee service was a highlight, room was immaculate and everyone we interacted with at the Canoe was top notch. Rooms are exactly like they are pictured, parking is easy, courtyard was beautiful and never loud. We had zero complaints- although we could see how previous reviews of some corner rooms were less than ideal. We personally loved being a close walk to downtown Banff or the ability to use the bus pass(free). The team behind Hotel Canoe, The Dorothy and Sudden Sally really have everything covered and I wouldn’t hesitate to stay again!

Trendy comfortable stay

Very trendy and extremely comfortable beds. Super nice hot pools and very friendly staff. The AC/heater is loud but the building is very quiet. Great value.

We love the intimate size of the motel and the charming art work in the rooms. We also love the location of the motel at the edge of the forest - we have stayed there several times over the years, and hope to be back.
